Electrical Issue - lightning strike

[jvongray]

I have a 2018 Forest River Forrester, while plugged into shore power there was a very close lightning strike. Now experencing the the following issues.

When the RV’s Ford 450 engine is running, OneControl icons (Lighting, Generator, and Monitor) are available and function. The Slides icon is missing, but not sure it was ever displayed with only the engine running.

When the generator is running or when I am plugged into shore power the OneControl panel displays only the the MyRV icon. The AC fan runs, but the AC unit does not.

When operating on house batteries the OneControl panel functions as described above with shore power and generator.

Looking for opinions on where to start troubleshooting?

Moved thread from the General Tech and Repair section to the Forester and Sunseeker sub-forum for better help from other Forester owners and possible factory support.

If it were me I would start with an insurance claim

I have experience with this on boats and if you did actually experience a strike there may be many other things effected that you haven’t discovered yet

At a minimum I would ask a dealer to estimate replacing the entire OneControl system and have an inspector check everything else.
