Surveyor legend in lightning

We have a 2021 Surveyor Legend 19BHLE. Is there enough metal in the roof and frame to act as a faraday cage in a lightning storm?

Thanks

Ken

I won the lottery and never knew it. The Laredo in my signature, took out virtually every circuit board, TV, LED puck lights, outside LED lighting, and the water heater overloads. Several thousands in damages. Luckely we were not in it that night. Yes, it can and will happen. My best advice would be to stay away from all electronics in a electrical storm.
