MH doors ???
Why do DP's typically have the door in the front and gas MH's have the door in the middle?? It seems like there could be more floor plan options if the door was moved around.

Correct. The REASON is simple. Floorplan options. Front door on gasser is impractical due to the engine doghouse. There is NO pushing back the front axle for the front genset. The axles all come the same distance. The FLOORPLAN is the reason. With a Diesel pusher or even a gas pusher, you have a better more livable floorplan since there is no door in the middle. Also, you can have larger and MORE slides without the middle door and that increases interior space. Newmar/Tiffin and others offered middle doors years ago, but very few RV'ers purchased that option so they slowly dropped the option. Front ENGINE RED's have the entry door right behind the passenger seat. The Manufacturers build for what the majority want and the majority want front entry doors. It is not cost effective to build for the few that do not want front entry doors. Doug
