You have to decide how much inside work space versus storage space.

For sure I would some type of canopy to be under in the rain or the hot sun.

I would also seriously consider a roof mounted A/C and generator capable of at least 2500 watts continuous. I would also have a deep cycle battery and an inverter to run lights and some light duty tools.
