I have never owned a gooseneck and would like to upgrade.  I have been tent camping with a 2 horse bumper pull.  OK, at 50 years old - being honest!  :)  , I am done with the tent! 

 In your experience, is there any preference to having the LQ door on the curb side or street side?  It seems to me that it would be easier to have it on the street side ( same as escape door side), but I don't have any experience camping with one.  I also need a 7'6" height for the 16.2 MFT. 

Any thoughts or reccommendations?

I had a 2 mule slant with the camper door on the curb side and currently own a 4 mule slant with the midtack and camper doors on the street side.  Seems like every time you pick a campsite, the door is on the wrong side...

Really tho, have not found any one reason better than another for which side the door is on.

Nothing better than saying good bye to the tent!  (unless you are gonna pack in to the back country for a few days).

I have two trailers with entrance doors on opposite sides. On the short, short walled Exiss, having the door on the street side frees up the curbside longer wall for a kitchenette, storage and a bathroom. Installing all this equipment in this small a space, would not be possible, with a door in the middle of the long wall.

Our Sidekick has a 13' short wall and a door on the curbside. People we show with have a street side door to their LQ and awning, so we can park face to face, nose to nose, with a common area between our trailers.

On a LQ with a longer short wall, the interior layout will be the determining factor about the favourable placement of the door. Other than I explained about our Exiss, I don't particularly see any advantage of having a door on one side or the other.

I'm in the camp of having it on the driver's side as explained before it gives you a much longer long wall.  I have a 5' short wall, so having the longer wall was really important.

On a much bigger LQ, curbside is probably better for the reasons already given by other posters. 

Thank you all!  I have "stalked"  this site for a year or more, but this is my first post.

Thanks!

I am a little late on this but here is my opinion and we have owned both in large and small LQ's.

In small LQ's I like the door on the street side for the room.

But actually what works good for ME or lets say my better half is a curb side door.

  While driving to or from a shoot or show at 12:00 at night and she wakes up and tells me I have to P and the closest town is either 5 miles behind us or 40 miles in front of us all I have to do is find a safe place to pull over, turn thbe flashers on and send her down the passenger side of the trailer to the door to the LQ.  Problem solved for both of us, she gets to go and I don't have to hear her for the next 40 miles.....hee hee

I have had living quarters both ways. My preference is on the curb side for my living quarters. Something was said earlier about the hookups being on the street side and that is what I didn't like about mine. In a camp ground, most of the hookups were always on the same side as my door. Also rest stops that have dumps were always that way too. When in a camp ground I was always walking over and around the sewer hose. Just didn't like it.

Non living quarters my preference is street side. It gives me the long wall in which to stack junk. As far as the traffic, I get out of the truck on that side so it didn't really make any difference.

But down around this part of the country, drop down window on the hip (curb)side is everywhere.  I will not own another trailer without them in this heat....  Also after looking thru the adds listed on this site I would say that about 60% if not more of the LQ trailers have drop down windows on the hip side....
