Just curious about the previous comment..what didn't you like about a rear entrance?
Our last fiver had the entrance at the rear, and our current fiver has it in the middle. Much prefer the middle for two reasons...
First, there are times when we need to lower the nose on a site that slopes. This would raise the rear of the trailer up, making it necessary to use an extra step to get in, which can be annoying.
Second, we frequently extend the rear of the rig over the end of the pad to give us more room for the truck in front. When we did that with the rear entrance, the door entrance would no longer be off of the pad. And if the slope after the end of the pad were severe enough, we couldn't extend out at all.
...our experience...
