I am considering buying an RV-7A or -9A and would like owners experiences with keeping your RV outside. Hangers here in Orange County, CA are in the 500-700 dollars per month range and I'd like to spend around 140/month to tie-down outside. Of course, we'd all like to keep our planes in a hanger, but the extra $5,000/year just might be the deal breaker for me. I kept my Zenair CH701 covered outside in Thailand for 3 years and it managed OK, and kept a C177rg there as well, again, partially covered. Any RV experience tie-ed down open with a canopy cover would be appreciated.
