In Cabin in the Woods, why does he start the car with his left hand?

The Cabin in the Woods takes place (mostly) in America. The 20-something cast is in a big RV that has the driver's seat on the left. The ignition should be to the right of the steering wheel. However, at 10 seconds into the movie trailer, we see Chris Hemsworth turn on the ignition with his left hand.

Was this just included to make the audience subconsciously feel like something is "off"? Or is there a more mundane explanation, like this shot was flipped in the trailer or it's a special RV with the ignition to the left of the steering wheel?

Here's the trailer. This shot is 10 seconds into it.

I think some older RVs had the ignition key on the left side. Probably to reduce clutter to the right of the driver, and give space to other controls.

This is from a 1963 RV:

The compound starts to shake, the music swells, the ground starts to heave apart, and then you shift to an outside view, where the woods around the cabin tremble and shake.

A Cabin in the Woods is a book well worth a re-read, filled with reveals that could satisfy in a different way the second time around. I'd recommend it to those who are looking to branch away from mysteries or contemporary into the psychological thriller genre.
