Entry door(s) and awning on passenger (curb) side.
Sewer, water and electrical hookups on driver (street) side.

I certainly like your idea of building an all metal trailer. Should last several years longer than a wood trailer.
You may want to consider building the inside of a metal cargo trailer into an RV, instead of building the entire trailer chassis and body from scratch. Probably save alot of money.
If you build it from a cargo trailer that has a rear ramp door, you can use it as a toyhauler too, and can fold the ramp down flat and screen it in like a tent, as an add on room while camping. They sell those tent/screen rooms for toyhaulers with rear ramp doors.
