Side entry - pros and cons?
I am thinking of a side entry for my next camper, right near the front. Mainly this is driven by floor plan, the only other major advantage I can think of is it will not get as dirty. I am worried...

I feel for the guys that live in CA. I'm not concerned if I travel thru(except for all the dope smokers)
I will not be stopping at any scales in CA. I didn't stop 2 years ago when I was there. Because I don't live there and my trucks are not registered there I don't need to know all the individual laws concerning them.
Just basic traffic laws are fine. If they want to pull me over and tell me to run over the scale, no problem, I will. I only need to know what my state wants. Here in PA you don't run over the scales unless your commercial. I know guys with flatbeds and guys with semis that are private only. No DOT numbers. They don't hit the scales. I don't know why CA wants to be so complicated, maybe it has to do with money. I here the state is broke.
I don't think displaying an out of state plate exempts you from any traffic laws in another state. Registration laws, yes. So if your state allows your flat bed to be registered as a private vehicle, California will not give you a ticket because it is improperly registered. But for scales, there is no exemption allowing a bypass because you have an out of state license, and I believe that is true of every state. You must obey the traffic laws of the state you are in. You must obey the registration laws of the state in which you are registered. You might get treated leniently, but if given a ticket, ignorance of local laws is very rarely a successful defense.
