When in college, I was standing in the parking lot by my building and it was overcast. Rain was coming but not raining yet. Actually pretty clear where I was. I saw a bright flash of light (just odd) and then KABOOM. My ears were ringing and all the car alarms went off. I started crying and ran to the building. Turns out, a guy walking on the other side of the building took a direct hit, it hit 7 other people and he died a week later when his family disconnected life support. The other ones were o.k.
A not in a camper, but an experience that has instilled FEAR in me of lightening and of slightly overcast skies. Not many understand that a relatively clear sky can produce lightening.
I was looking at the same idea with our boat and I just don't think there is a whole lot you can do about it. Lightening is going to go where it wants to go and it will take whatever it wants to take.
My 2 cents...
