Anyone know if there is a way to protect the electronics on our RV's from the dangers of Electromagnetic Pulse?

You could wrap your RV in heavy duty aluminum foil. I hear that works.

The whole RV? No way to just wrap electronics? Battery?

I would put up an antenna to attract the pulse, then have the cheap electronics replaced with good stuff using the insurance money.

Depending on how much stuff you have that you want to protect then do an internet search on building a faraday cage.

I've started researching farraday cages. Was hoping someone could pinpoint what exactly i need to protect, other than covering the whole rv with foil.

I'm betting we have a troll here, EMP killing electronics. I knew pilots the flew EA 6B's electronic warfar planes that did this, we get EMP from a nuke kiss your good bye

Pilot said they EA-6B could cause EMP that blows all the transformers on the power lines and 1 aircraft could black the entire Seattle area. That was 40 years ago so who knows what they can do these days.
"The Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engine, four-seat, mid-wing electronic-warfare aircraft derived from the A-6 Intruder airframe. The EA-6A was the initial electronic warfare version of the A-6 used by the United States Marine Corps and United States Navy."

Protecting the RV would be the least of my concerns. If the EMP pulse struck, everything would be destroyed.

Still here. I've read what could happen if we were struck with an EMP. It's scary. Not a doomsday type of individual, but a little worried about the U.S.'s relationship with other nations. Got to wondering about that new RV i bought.

Got to wondering about that new RV i bought. Welcome back, If we got hit with EMP we are all in trouble. I have posted what I learned on the subject from people that fight with EMP equipment. The other EMP I'm aware of is the nuke kind and if that happens we are all in serious trouble and RV's are going to be the least of our worries.

I know, we'll be in trouble. But in order to survive this texas heat, even if it's only a short period of time, i just thought I'd see if anyone else had any ideas.

You're right I'm afraid. Nevertheless, we are doing a few things in case of disasters, and my brain never stops. Therefore the inquiry.
