Hi all

You may well have been hit or the ground was hit near by, was once hit when working on a scaffolding bloody scarey, all it done to us, was give us a big headache and it knocked out my mobile phone as well as my brothers phone, lucky the scaffolding was earthed out to the ground, thats what saved us. if all your electrics inside the van are working then there should be know problems. 

I got a shock the other week off our toaster. (My fault) Gave me a big fright. My Oh (who is a spark) says the wooden floor saved me. Cause the van isn't earthed. If it would have happened at home the board would have tripped and I wouldnt have got such a jolt.

I'll ask him the  question about lightening when he phones tomoro (he's off shore) but I would imagine in a van the rubber tyres would "earth" you

Rubber tyres won`t earth out your caravan, but the four stabilizer legs on a caravan would.

hi the legs on ours are fixed to a wood floor so should ok,if fixed to the chassis then you will be earthed.if it gets bad i turn off the tv to prevent damage.
