Are there any great methods to rainproof radios in a tip-up RV?   Besides moving to Arizona or building a slider?

I used some plastic sheet and glued this to the  subpanel and angled it so any water would run to the side of the plane rather  than downward onto the avionics.  I also installed and reinstall a  P-Strip (ACS p/n 05-01200) under the front of the canopy frame where it  meets up with the forward top skin at each year's annual.  It seems to get  distorted somehow each year and need to be replaced.  In essence, I  created a gutter above the electrical stuff that catches and channels any water  that gets in over and to the side of the radios.

Fred Stucklen (who I believe is on this list) made Velcro-on covers to go between the subpanel and firewall.   Basically, it’s just a waterproof material that is velcroed to the top of the firewall and subpanel and covers everything below it.   I have numerous pictures of Fred’s installation, that I’ve gotten at fly-ins, but none are currently on my web page.    I could post them, if my description isn’t clear.  I plan to copy what Fred did.

I’ve also ordered my hangar door with a remote control.  If it’s raining when I land, I can just taxi right into the hangar, which will help some.
