Lightning Protection

Do aluminum-walled motor homes provide any more protection from lightning than a house does? Does it provide less? I know that being in a car is supposed to be safe when lightning comes because the car acts as a farraday cage. But as I understand it aluminum isn't really conductive, so it can't help with this. How do people stay safe in lightning storms?

Aluminum is not as good as copper but it was used for many years as the electrical wiring in many homes. It is still used in some feed lines to homes. You are as safe in your RV as you are in your stick home.
