"Wrong" side or "right" side is in the mind of the beholder ;) ... personally I prefer having the FW gravity fill on the curb side where it's easier to get to. Unless you always and only ever fill the tank by pulling your trailer up to the campground fresh water fill station you're going to have to have a means to replenish the tank when you inevitably have to re-fill it while camping anyway so you don't have to move the trailer itself back to the fill station ... that being the case there's really no reason to ever take the trailer anywhere near the fill station. Instead, I always keep the fresh water holding tank at least partly filled, the water heater tank completely filled, and the system pressurized so I can use it anywhere at any time, whether we're actually camping or not. When we arrive at the campground I never waste time stopping at the fill station to get more water but simply head straight to my site and deal with getting more water later at my convenience, usually the next day at a time when there's no one else around and I don't have to wait. To accomplish this I always carry four 7 gal Aquatainers in the back of the truck that I can fill at my leisure and later back at the campsite use a 12 vdc potable water pump to transfer the water from the 'Tainers to the trailer's FW holding tank. Simple, takes no effort at all, and the location of the trailer's fresh water fill becomes a moot point. Pics are in my gallery.
