So, did you get this all figured out? Hopefully the cable was just not securely in the bracket.

You have to take care of other things too, sometimes.

No idea on the RV/van cables...but I can say that I had to both fabricate a spacer for the throttle pedal on my '90 pickup AND add a bunch of tiny zip ties to the pedal end of the cable to make it work right.
It's one of the aftermarket parts store cables, though I don't remember exactly which one now...I went through about 6 different cables trying to find one that wouldn't melt in a day from turbo heat (finally ended up shoving this one through a spark plug insulator wrap/boot that has the appearance of a metallic blanket on the outside), and it's been holding for quite some time without any hints of an issue.
But my spacer + zip ties have probably taken up 2-3 inches worth of excess inner cable.

Sounds like they gave you a 92 up cable.

Just FYI for those of you that get stuck using an aftermarket throttle cable that is too long to get full throttle ( they all are). Use the crimp on lead fishing line weights they work a hell of a lot better than zip ties and whether you fish or not you probably have some somewhere, it usually only takes one maybe 2 and I have also fixed throttle cables this way when the pedal end broke off.
