Hi DJ and welcome!!!
If I may suggest, how about building another dob base, (custom made for your needs..ie..eyepiece tray..red LED reading lamp..etc!) for outside use..keeping it under wraps when not in use!..plus you can trolley it around your backyard to wherever you want!..this will save wear and tear on the original mount..all you have to worry about is moving the optical tube from one base to the other!
Cheers!
