My garage is in the basement and if I'm not good about cleaning up the leaves in my trenched driveway then then can clog up the storm drain if it rains hard. Once a year or so I end up with some water in my garage — never fun.
After several months of charging via 120V on an extension cord, I finally got a 14-50 installed a few months back. I've been tinkering with the setup since then and finally got it to a spot I'm happy with.
The UMC is up off the ground, away from the wet and the dirt and the errant feet. The arm (scrap wood) moves both the excess cord coil and hanging handle slack out of the rear door's opening, under the opened garage door, and closer to the rear for easy access for charging — just reach up. UMC is still easy to take down and pack up or if needed.
