So our garage is finished and we put our Anthem in it this evening. Expecting a snow storm tonight. We have a 50 amp plug inside and have her plugged in with main power in coach left on. Garage is heated. I don't have heat left on in coach. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Put your feet up and relax. Sounds as if you have had a busy day. Glad you got your coach in before the weather hit.

ARG! You don't have classical music playing?!

Congrats, you've done everything she needs. Enjoy the snow, a drink by the fire.

If you are going to keep her plugged in just make sure to check your battery water levels. Congrats on the garage though, sure wish we had one to store ours in of course it hasn't been sitting to much the past year.

Thanks, S&S!

Checking water will be the first job of mine, today.

Did I mention it will be sunny and 80F here in the Lone Star State today?

Trick: Be a Gmail subscriber to protect your computer from spyware and viruses; use their calendar function to send yourself a reminder email (in this case, "Check water level in house batteries").

If your flat work contractor used "cure & seal" type of product, be sure to park on plywood, cardboard, etc., as the chemicals in cure and seal products will leach the carbon from the tires and leave black marks on the concrete between now and forever. Also not good on the tires if left for extended periods of time.
If a desifier and sealer was used (like at Lowes, Sams, etc. then nothing to worry about.
Enjoy the garage.

Congratulations, I'm envious mine is still sitting outside in -6 degrees (no windchill) while the final touch ups get done to the electric/mechanical chain hoist door opener get hooked up. At least it's scheduled to be done today.

Thanks everybody. Justaromer none of that stuff used I don't think but I do have her parked on 4 sheets of plywood laid on top of the 6 in cement floor at 4,000 psi in case there is something in the cement that shouldn't be in constant contact with the tires. I will as suggested check on the batteries and the coach from time to time (Can' t stand not to have a look at here anyway). We wound up having about 6 inches of snow but it is drifted in pretty good around garage. Glad I got her in yesterday despite the operator for the door yet to be installed.

Congrats on the garage. You should go camp ot there for the evening. Mine is in a garage but it is 3 miles from the house and unheated. I have to weather the 2-4 inches of ice and snow they are calling for in the sticks and bricks

Must be nice to have your own heated garage for the MH. Only my dream until we move more out into the country. Mine in an off site unheated rented storage building until spring. Spring only 2 1/2 months ways. Cool!!

Yeah...my advice is to head on south where you don't have to put up with that white stuff, but....too late! It's already arrived, I see. Next best thing is to go out there and sleep in your new bed!
