We park our rig behind our stick house on the north side. The house does block some of the sun from shining on the rig but the western sun still heats it up in the late afternoon. I would love to have it covered, but $$$$$$. On our acre+ lot we have a septic system, so I have had installed an underground feeder line that runs from the back area of the rig into the main septic line. I have also installed water faucet and a 20 amp outdoor outlet on the wall of the house near the respective utility outlets of the rig. A 20 amp connection is sufficient for every need I have for electricity in the rig, including running electric heaters during the winter time. I just don't run multiple electrical items at the same time.
As expressed by others, it is great to have 24/7 access to the coach and it is a conveniently-located "dog house" also. It's presence has caused some consternation with our next door neighbor. He says it blocks his view of the mountains to the East. We are gone maybe 5-6 months a year, but our return home serves only to re-kindle his hostility.
His complaints to the code enforcement officers have gained no sympathy from the city since the rig is not visible from the street.
