Garage Mods?
Hey all,
I'm finishing up a garage addition (28x32), that may serve as an RV factory in the not too distant future. 
My question is- Is there anything you would install in the shop/garage specific to RV building?
I put in-
-dozens of outlets
-lights out the wazoo (6 four tube fixtures plus some task lights)
-220/20a for my table saw
-220/30a for a welder
-big workbench
-basin sink
What else while it's not too late?
Thanks

Shelves and hangers
Shelves of different kind. Very useful to have couple shelves by the outlets for charging stations, storing stuff etc.

Oh yea, forgot to mention I have a good compressor. Although I might upgrade if I start building. I'm thinking of making an enclosure under the deck behind the garage to keep the noise outside.
Thanks.

In the wall air
I put air lines in the wall with out lets about every 20 feet and under the front edge of the work bench that is permanently mounted to the wall. If I did it again I would put auto rewind reels for air and power in the ceiling.

Refrigerator...for keeping the ProSeal cold...as well as the beverages
Also, AM/FM radio, Air Scanner Radio, XM radio, Cable TV, Laptop PC with wireless to house, VHS or DVD player...for "From the Ground Up" and other videos...
My wife calls my shop the "Man Cave."
One more thing...a security system. I have two, but I can't go into detail here. 
P.S. I have 9 foot ceilings, so on the walls I installed 4 by 8 OSB turned sideways (4 feet high). Then I installed 4 by 8 foot peg board from 4 feet to 8 feet (yes spacers behind pegboard to match thickness of OSB). Then I installed one foot of OSB at the top. All the OSB panels as well as the ceiling are painted white. Using OSB, I can screw or nail anywhere I want to. I have plenty of peg board space to hang stuff on near eye level. Works for me.

Exhaust fan/down draft table with hardware cloth for
painting, epoxy and mek fumes. Window or fresh air intake on opposite side of garage. Plenty of used 3 speed 115 volt furnace blower assemblies available from your local hvac guy. Install 20 x 25 air filter before blower. I also recommend hvac...keeps the sweat/humidity/corrosion off of your aluminum skins.
