We had a Progressive Industries Surge suppressor on the unit, it is still working correctly according to the lights. I do not think the Lightning (surge) entered through the pedestal. Do not know how it entered, there are no visible marks.[/QUOTE]
As stated previously, Lightning will energize the air surrounding where the lightning strikes. It does not need to enter. It does not need to make a direct path through your RV. Air is turned into a plasma full of electrons. Electrically fragile solid state components can be fried from contact with the air alone.
