beware "gutting" a motorhome..
Often, I believe, the internal cabinets, walls, etc are all part of the
"unibody" structure.
Remove them and whole thing will fold over sideways..
Proper gussets should be installed to carry the loads that are no

and to boot, if you come across an old Rutan/Sheehan Single place 'Quickie'
you'll have the engine (Onan)

I can buy wing covers, cabin covers, tail covers, and a prop cover.
Will that be enough ...
If they will allow you the space, have you considered some kind of tent? The
That is a very nice trailer and ideal for ground transport of the plane. But I
have to ask, with the plane stored sans wings, how often do you put the wings
on and fly the plane? I suspect not much, which is kind of the problem with
storing the plane in a trailer.

Hi Guys;
This was my solution since I cannot find an exceptable hanger yet.
Yeah it was pricey but O'l Blue is worth it and it doesn't take up garage
space.

first night. I taped all the canopy seams and cowl and anywhere else I
