First, almost all our buses (with the possible exception of Thompson Coaches) will trip a 15 or 20 amp GFCI circuit. Depending on weather conditions you may wish to run your AC or heaters in addition to maintaining the batteries.

Additionally make life easy for yourself. Have plenty of power and space around the coach so you can comfortably move around it, get in the bays, load it, air up the tires, wash or wax it, etc.
Checking out some of those guys working on their planes in the hangar space last week at the airport really brought that home Jon. One of the guys was building a kit plane made of composites - pressurized and 300knts Main point is they had lots of room and everything they needed right at hand. Brent Warrington (Meandmypre) has a really nice warehouse for his bus which provides all of what you are talking about.

If nothing shakes out this weekend, I think I will begin negotiating with the fellow who has offered to build me one. Should be able to get exactly what I want. Thanks.
