Abstract: A vehicle control system for recreational vehicles, designed to enhance the security and functionality of communication between various devices. The system includes a first communication bus for connecting devices, such as a first vehicle controller, responsible for controlling critical vehicle functions. Additionally, a second communication bus is provided for connecting devices, including a second vehicle controller, tasked with managing peripheral vehicle functions. The two communication buses are linked by a gateway device that enables communication between them. To ensure a secure communication environment, the system incorporates at least one firewall, which selectively allows information to pass from the second communication bus to the first communication bus via the gateway. This arrangement provides increased security and reliability in the communication and control of essential vehicle functions, while allowing for flexibility in the management of peripheral functions.
