needless to say im bored to tears,hence the question. if you buy a caravan,or campervan for the uk market,then the doors are on the lefthand side,if its for the euro market,the doors are always on the righthand side so that you don’t commit sucicide exiting the van onto the carriageway…that being the case,why don’t british operators that don’t go abroad,specify trailers with the first opening door on the lefthand side instead of always opening into the traffic in the nearside lane.surely in todays jobsworth h&s world,some ■■■■■■■■ would have cottoned onto that one by now? righthand drive trucks should have the opening rear door on the lefthand side,and vise versa…or am I talking pish again…■■? 
I refer the honourable gentleman to the last 5 or 6 words in his post.

OURS GO UP so we don’t have that problem 
Could it be as most of us are right handed ?

you really need to get out more.
I had a proper left hand drive trailer once, the winder for the legs was on the drivers side, first and only time I’d ever seen one like that.
The rigid trucks I drive are “left hand” as in the N/Side barn door opens 1st
Oh Dear, does it really matter as most open both doors.

well said,my sentiments exactly…but arnt they still left had drive trailers anyway?
most open both doors,with the right hand door opening first,which in Britain is opening out onto passing traffic,hence common sense would dictate that for the british market,then the nearside door should open first…ive seen trailers with the landing legs on the r/h side,and others with both sides capable of winding up and down…or am I still talking pish? 
For ■■■■ sake… A driven trailer??
Wake up people…
Think of all the prime movers / units it’d save. I’ve used plenty of trailers with winders (not windows) both sides.
Its easily solved though…Just look before opening the doors…it doesnt matter which side opens first…if you take that same trailer abroad, you have the same problem…so dont worry about trivial things…i`ve heard it all now, can it get any worse…?
Hang on. People travel in caravans while they’re being towed ■■?
only the mac o dougalls travel in the vans cos its too much trouble for plod to do them,discover its all wrong names with addresses similar to,the 1st halting site next to the laybye just outside of tuam on the road to galway,with the van twinned up with one in eire,most using their dead granddads passport and driving licence,then not appearing at court,and having to have warrants put out for them,£ 6 million quid later for the priveledge of 3 months in the pokey,…or am I waffling on a load of pish again??
