Re: [VAC] AS+lightning: Will we fry?
Annie,
I personally wouldn't worry about it a lot. You might want to ground
the trailer by connecting a fairly heavy wire to a dedicated ground rod.
Be sure to check with whoever knows what's going on around where you're
parked so you don't drive it through a water, sewer, or electric line.
The trailer should actually be grounded through the 3rd prong on the
service cable.
Even if the trailer should suffer a direct hit, it's unlikely that you'd
be hurt if you're inside at the time. The most dangerous situation would
be if you were JUST stepping in/out as the bolt hit, that could kill
you.
