The galley on the drivers side must be a weight distribution or tank issue. It is quite plain that most customers would prefer it the other way. Who wants to have most of their windows overlooking the neighbors campsite or lose visibility while driving?
Nah, it is just a design issue, IMO. Several other B converters have the kitchen counter on the passenger side. It appears Roadtrek chose to continue the design layout they had with their Chevys that had just a single narrow door instead of a wide sliding door. That and the desire to provide versatile models with one or two additional passenger seats up front. Obviously it is successful for them. Leisure Travel Vans, the first to convert a Sprinter started out with a similar plan with the kitchen counter on the driver's side but switched shortly after. It's just a design choice. Airstream and Winnebago's settled on following the leader, RT. LTV, P-W, GWV and Advanced RV went the opposite. Winnebago ERA 70A and LTV FS SS chose to expand the design parameters. Some of the now defunct Sprinter converters had different layouts. For the most part compared to Europe the plan choices are not that many.
