Congrats, I know I sleep better knowing my coach is tucked away in its storage shed, allows me to not worry about potential roof leaks forming and wood rotting away unseen while it sits in storage. As long as you have a straight approach driving in you should be fine with a 14 foot wide door, the roll up door on my shed is only 12 ft and I manage, though I have came within an inch of taking a mirror off before when pulling into the shed in the dark.

Where do u have yours? ….Thinking drive in for me so steps face center and after a long drive I do not want to think to hard backing up and want to leave toad hooked up if raining..

I do not want to have to throw the 50amp cord under the bus for hook-up..

Ours will be a back in. It's our only choice. Approx 160 ft of backing. Electric and water will be on the utility side and the door will be facing our house, making it easy to load and unload. We have to unhook in the street, usually a trailer, back the Motor home in, then get my truck and retrieve the trailer. Future plan is to tow the truck with a motorcycle in the bed. Current coach didn't have the towing capacities to do that.

Just add a second hook up. Shouldn't be that expensive.

Second hook up for what ?

tim494 · 05-19-2020, 06:40 PM

For 50 amp. Responding to Pine Stump's dilemma of which side.

Ours is “Pull-in”. Pulling in allows the 50 AMP plug, the Generator Set and Oasis exhaust to be located on the outside wall. NOTE TO THOSE THINKING ABOUT BACKING IN:. Any “driveway slope” has to be considered in determining the interior ceiling/garage door height!! Because of the location of the rear wheels and the coach “overhang” behind the wheels any “approach” slope in your driveway will cause the rear cap of the coach to rise MUCH higher backing in as opposed to the front cap when pulling in! We cannot back into our garage, we would hit the garage door!! And you wondered why you took geometry in High School...

We have the option of driving in or backing in as we had the luxury of a big driveway. I prefer backing in so we ended up putting the 50 amp on the utility side. We thought about putting another one on the back wall, but as posted previously we opted to add an RV power box (with 50/30/20 amp) outside that’s located between the roll up doors. Just wanting to have multiple options for hook up.
