Haven't had it on the road yet. There is an indoor setting which it says makes it less sensitive to interference like microwaves, cell phones, electric motors, PC's, and hard drive motors. I don't think there is any shielding effect since I don't believe it is sensing RF. I do have aluminum walls for my TT so we will see. I think I have seen lightning sensing modules for Ardunio micro controllers, so you could make your own detector with a little "C" programming experience for around $10.
