The guages on the dash go haywire, coolant temp goes from hot to cold, oil pressure goes through the roof, etc, not good readings [...]

I have always thought that in order to use jumper cables to start a dead battery for a car, one simply connects the positive terminals of the batteries together, and likewise with the negative terminals.

I did this while the vehicle was running and before connecting any cables/leads to the dead vehicle/battery. Sparks flew all over but everything seems to be OK. Should I bring it in [...]

A lightning ground strike temporarily knocked out the unit’s hi/lo surge protector causing the RV to revert to its internal 12V system.
