If lightning is your concern, think about this:
Rubber tires or wood/plastic blocks seperating the camper from earth is worthless. Lightning is millions of volts and traveles lots of miles to get to ground (cloud to ground lightning). 5" or 6" of insulation sure isn't going to stop it!
Excellent (off-topic) reply, in re: lightning protection.
Back on-topic, a proper ground needs to be driven into the ground at least eight (8) feet.
If your name is John Henry - and you're not parked on a concrete pad, there might be a remote possibility of success..;)
(Earth) grounding comes up from time to time.
