Right side, left side?

Which side of a trailer is considered right side and which is left? I always thought a vehicle side was determined by sitting the seat, Driver side left, passenger side right side. friend disagrees with me. what do you say?

    Same here. Or street side and curb side. No further discussion either way.
  • Drivers side is left side and passenger side is the right side. When you have a RV in tow its the same idea. My door on my TT is on the right=ditch side
  • Your analysis is correct

    Rightside...passenger side....Curbside
    Leftside....drivers side......Roadside


    Just try and put a 'rightside' brake assembly on the leftside (roadside) of trailer. It will be backwards!

  • I was always told
    The left sides the right side,
    the right sides the wrong side.

    Oh wait,,, thats for horses
