Not always straightforward. Many boats have very little metal framework inside the superstructure so radio antenna get the first hit and then the electrics cop it. New composite aircraft have similar problems and they have to add conductive paths and use hydraulics and fibre-optics to try and protect the avionics and controls. Any Faraday cage effect is likely to be incomplete
My 4WD living quarters is frameless and built from fibreglass.foam sandwich panel so there may be no Faraday cage effect at all - apart from some aluminium trim around the edges. Still got a radio antenna and wiring so I imagine there is still the same risk of lighting strike, but with increased risk to contents if there is a strike.
