Trying to form a consensus
If you had a choice of which direction, North, South, East, or West, or any point in between to point the front of your recreation vehicle which would you choose? I know there are a lot of variable...

Well some very good answers, Keeping the refrigerator in the shade and like the Plains Indians I like my door facing East,
The first 15 years of owning my first RV we mostly boondocked in the desert or beaches so we could use our toys.
Thru trial and error I found that the best way for me was to point the front my Class A with its large front windows North or a bit North west depending of the time of year.
The reason for this is that as the sun came up I could deploy my manual awning and lower it to shade the RV,this put the refrigerator in the shade as well as my patio and as the day wore on the shadow would deepen,as the sun past high noon the RV would provide more shade and the shade pattern would get larger,later in the day the shade pattern was large and the shade and insulation of the RV helped in cooling that side,we spent most of our time outside.
I always hated to have the setting sun glaring at me with no shade and no way to get out of it.
This has worked for me and I know as others have said view and other factors come into play but in the desert and the beaches the view is pretty much the same wherever you look:B
Now even when in campgrounds I try to get campsites that will put the curb side,the one with the door,awning and refrigerator facing East.
