We put one HVAC outlet in that garage and that is sufficient to keep it in the 60-80 degree range winter and summer. In Oklahoma City it gets down to below zero and up to Way Too Far Over a Hundred occasionally. Since we bought our 2007 RT new and still have it, it provides a wonderful example of what a controlled storage climate accomplishes over eighteen years. Everything is like new in and out. Controlled humidity and temp makes a real difference.
We walk inside from the house to the RT, load it and go with no compromise to hot or cold days. We start the refrig on electric and walk out of our kitchen with the goodies that will traveling with us and put them in the rv frig as we decide and we are good to go. Same thing on clothing, camping stuff, etc. although most of the camping equipment just lives full time in the RT.
You will love what you are building and the fact that it is at your new home.

Sounds familiar. We bought a 6 year old house in 1993 and built a 30X42 detached garage to supplement the two car attached one. Built with 10' ceiling and 8X9 doors. When we were thinking of getting Roadtrek 190, I increased the door height to 9' 3" before we bought our 07 190P new in 2008.
We are in the cold winter, not hot summers like you have, so we went with just heat and lots of insulation.
I agree that there is a big difference in how vehicles look from the top and bottom when they are stored in climate controlled dry areas, when compared ones that sit outside. Even the interior smells better and with some new vehicle smell left.
