There already is a "standard" place for towed units. That is adjacent to the wheels. Side does not matter as 'vans are pitched both ways round these days with movers. Can't have them on the end because they could be underground on sloping pitches!
I have seen on an Affiliated Site the waste drain right in the middle of the pitch. It was explained to me that this made it accessible from either side!

The side your waste outlet is placed certainly does matter if you ever want to use an awning. The prospect of sharing an awning with a wastemaster and foregoing the skirt doesn't appeal regardless of which way around a van is parked.

... There was also a fashion of fitting the cassette toilet access on the back end Lol ! Sometimes pitches have hedgerows at the back , which means armour plated clothing to gain access . ...
Surely you just don't reverse the caravan as far
Of course , but on a short pitch or hard stand & a longish van , it can be a real nuisance . Besides, I prefer to pitch as far from the roadway as possible , to allow manoeuvring room for others to site/remove their vans .
