I had a small camper, and one option was a rear door. The amount of space for this model seemed to be the same in either design. Nowhere to put the spare tire since the door was in the middle, that was an issue. No where to put racks, like bike racks, or other hitch storage tings.
I did not see any benefit.
Side, passengers side, because of campground layouts. Picnic tables are on the passenger side if you back in truck at front, trailer at rear).
If entering the camper when on the side of a road, then door on passengers means you hit sidewalk traffic, not highway traffic when opening the door.
The awning is on the side, good place for a door when it is raining.
Rear awning possible, but the side is always bigger and big enough to have more than one person put a chair, or a table and enjoy the shade.
So, why a rear door?
