My trailer has the entrance on the driver side.  The problem I have run into is my power cord is also on the drives side, a tripping hazzard with young kids, and my water and sewer on the pax side.  I have run into issues being able to dump with my setup.  What I do is tell the campground that my trailer is built backwards and I just need to go into a sight the "wrong" way.  Usually they want to come out and see what it is that I am speaking of, then I get a pull through sight and I pull in the wrong way. 

The other down side is roadside potty stops, with our trailer we have to watch out for traffic on normal trailers you have to watch out for thorn bushes each has its tradeoffs.

It is nice having the awnings meet when camping with friends.  It is awkward when the people at the other sight don't know you if you are pulled in normally.

The tradeoffs have not been enough for me to want to trade the trailer off.

We have a Silver Star with all the doors on the drivers side. 7' straight wall DR, 3' short wall mid-tack, escape door on first stall. I like it that way simply because I'm in a wheelchair so it cutsdown on "travel time", from the trucks drivers seat to the "bathroom"!! Most of the time if I've got room enough to get myself and wheelchair out of the truck, then I got room to get to and into the trailer. It does become a bit awkward at a campground, seems that they all cater to trailers with curb side doorways. We got another trailer (6 horse head to head) with the DR door on the curb side and a center horse area walk in door on the drivers side..... Haven't gotten used to that yet.

Hi there,

My holiday trailer has it's door to the driver's door, and we haven't had any issues with it. Likewise, my in-law's fifth-wheel holiday trailer also has the door to the driver's side. Our electrical plug-in is on the curb side, the sewer dump is on the driver's side, and we seldom have problems with dumping sewer. In most cases you just approach from the direction that suits you best. Likewise, my gooseneck horse trailer has its door on the driver's side, too, in many ways i find it handy because sometimes I'm at dayshows or functions where I remain hooked up. It's nice to be able to hop in and out without running around the entire vehicles length.

So obviously the choice of which side has a LQ door is a matter of opinion - it seems many trailers are sold either way. I personally wouldn't hesitate if I liked the rest of the trailer.

We have two trailers, each with an entry door on opposite sides. The shortest trailer has a street side door and a 4' short wall. By having the door located there, the uninterrupted 8' long wall is fitted with the galley, storage and bathroom.

Our other trailer has a 13' short wall and a curbside entry. Each of its walls is long enough to place an entry door, wherever it works best for an optimum interior layout.

I don't think one placement is any better than the other. We primarily attend shows, which allow for trailer locations on both sides of a pole. If we get in a tight spot, I carry a 30' shore extension. If we used camp grounds a lot, the door placement would probably be more of a concern.
