So last nite the 5th wheel about 50 ft to my left caught on fire and burned to the ground. No one was hurt thankfully. It was storming pretty bad and though no one knows for sure yet, the owners think it might have been a lightening strike.
My question: On the back of my MH, I have about a 20 ft pipe attached to the back ladder, then on top of that I have about a 4 ft section of PVC with my cellular antenna on top. The pipe is NOT on the ground. It is about 2 ft off the ground secured to the ladder. The cable runs from the antenna on top into my rear bay attaching to the "outside" cable connection, then the coax that runs through the coach to the inside amplifier/booster and internal antenna.
Total height above the MH is about 15 ft, so roughly 27 ft in the air. There are much taller trees around me. Should I take the pole down? Is it a lighting strike potential?
