The first thing I would do is remove power to the engine and transmission ECMs. There are probably fuses very close to the chassis batteries for the ECMs. The easiest way might be to just remove the neg battery cable for a few minutes. If that doesn't work then with the power still off find the ECM on the side on the engine and make sure the wiring harness connector is seated good. The transmission control may be below the shifter bay or in an electrical bay. We're they in wet weather? My guess is that there was some moisture intrusion.

Tiffin should have a 24 hour tech help line. Gave a call.

Hey Jim,

We'll be 3rd week of Jan getting down there. We're visiting our oldest daughter in Cocoa Beach and then camping with friends at the Tampa Super Show first. We're still in the cold of east Tn with family but leaving in the next few days.
