I didn't think a surge protector was necessary until lightning struck a tree about 15' from our Southwind. We were in a CG at the time.
It's just another type of insurance.
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.
Probably do no good at all and if it does take the hit and tries to dump it to ground then the EMS is going to fail as well.
When in a lightening storm, unplug.
