I’m questioning how much good any surge protector would be against a lightning strike only 15 feet away. They are great for miss wired campgrounds but the typical energy dump in a lightning strike is enormous.
don't know about 15 ft. but it was so close that everything shook. when I looked outside, my RV was one of the few in the campground that still had electricity. people will spend $5000 for FBP to impress the neighbors but not a few hundred for protection.
and as stated, do not get the $90 special, get a full function one.
