I have been looking at a caravan with the door on the “wrong” side.

Im wondering what are the pros and cons of having this layout.

All your views appreciated😀

You'd be getting out of your car on the "unsafe" side too so I don't think it makes much difference, if you like the van then you'll sort out any following compromises as most van owners do. smile

when on a site, arent the (perceived) issues the same as for a motorhomer?

The only "problem?" would be from those with Uk spec LVs who have been noted posting on here, that they do not "like" looking at others if the door is facing their LVs door side,  but then some UK spec site users who "want to be together" are known to ,if on adjacent pitches to turn one round so doors face each othercool

Since the OP has no intention of travelling "abroad" his concern may be possibly be confined to the north of Hadrian's Wall at some time in the future. wink

It doesn't matter two hoots as long as it has a door, caravanners and motorhomers alike will adapt quite easily on site to the circumstances.

Here, mostly nose in or nose out, over there park sideways option.

I have been to the UK many times with my caravan with the door on the right and have never experienced any problems. Sometimes I have been asked to pitch my caravan the other way round, but actually that suits me better anyway because the lounge is at the back so we sit inside the same as if we were in a UK caravan.
