Pulled into camp got setup turned on air worked fine. Wife turned it off while running and nothing turns on. Fan, AC or furnace, I checked all the fused and breakers. All is good, could we have fried the control board?

In other words, check to see if you have a GFCI on one of your electrical outlets. It may not be located in the bathroom. Ours is on an outlet in the kitchen area and it controls all of the outlets in the trailer. With power conected to the 120v AC mains, push the button to reset it.

However, I really don't see that your A/C unit would also be connected to the GFCI circuit. .....But just maybe it is... If that doesn't work, I'd take it to a repair shop.

The GFI should not keep the A/C from running. Check the 120 volt breakes in the trailer as well as on the power paanel at the park.

Mine won't come on if the remote's batteries are dead/low. I'd replace them first and see if that's your problem. Always the simplest fix first is my motto. JMHO

It is still early in the day. I would make two phone calls before taking it to a repair shop.
1 - I would call the manufacturer of the RV. Ask for their service or warranty department even if you are out of warranty. Describe to them what happened, and ask if they have any suggestions or if they have heard of this before. They may have run into this previously.
2 - I would call the manufacturer of the AC unit. And follow the same process as above.

I have called SunnyBrook a number of times, and always found them helpful. You may also want to call the place you normally do your RV repair/service business. They may be able to give you some things to try over the phone.

Good luck with this.

do you have a fuse along the line somewhere?

Are any other electrical devices not working?

Checked all the fuses. The furnace won't even turn on. This leads me to believe it may be the Control board. Thanks for all the help
