Why all RVs are designed the way they are? And why RV doors are present on the right side

Dec. 22 2022 RV Travelling By Sophia James

In most countries, driving is done on the right side of the road so loading, packing, and unloading of passengers or cargo is usually done on the right side of the road or street. The awnings are also present on the right side of the travel trailer to provide the awning being in the road or traffic when it is extended for use. Most of the travel trailers have two doors for safety and convenience as kids can enter the back door and then exit the front door. This will be helpful as kids will not congregate around one door.

The front end of a travel trailer is beneficial for smooth sides rounded corners and recessed areas for outer components that lead to aerodynamic benefits. The angels are present on the front of the door for a very good reason if you open the door while traveling down the highway at high speeds then having the hinges on the front side of the door will make sure that the wind will blow following the door shut. If the hinges would present on the back side of the door then it will blue open when you are traveling at 70 MPH and the door could break right off while putting all the passengers in danger.

For loading and unloading cargo the toy hauler travel trailers have a fold-down ramp for example gear and equipment and outdoor toys. Toy haulers are made with the help of down diamond plating and tie-downs to make them secure and extremely sturdy for campers who wish to bring their bikes, ATVs, kayaks, and much more with them when they are hitting the road.


Tanks present in an RV

Your RV has different types of holding tanks. The largest of three types of tanks is a freshwater tank. They are made of plastic and can be either black or white and black inhibits the growth of algae. The black water tanks hold the water that goes down in the toilet. If your RV contains multiple toilets then probably you contain different black tanks as well. The grey tank is only designed to store and collect the water that goes down the shower and sink drains and from a washing machine if there is present.

What are propane tanks for? 

The propane tanks of RVs are very important components of the travel trailer. Propane tanks are also known as LP liquid petroleum or LPG liquid petroleum gas. Propane is useful for many daily functions for example cooling your refrigerator, cooking your food, and heating your water. These little tanks provide a big benefit.

Why are propane tanks present in the front of an RV?

The big reason why propane tanks are located in front of RV is safety issues. Depending on the type of cylinders, vehicle, and regulating equipment these tanks can be found in the following locations,

  • Vans, motorhomes, Fifth Wheels for slide Chassis Mounted Unites. In a recessed compartment, gas is tight to the inside of the vehicle, accessible only from and ventilated to the outdoor location.
  • Pressure valves should be present towards the container and away from the vehicle compartment opening.
  • Tent trailers and travel trailers: Present on A-frame as close to the front of the trailer body as possible.


Why water tanks are located in the center

The weight of water is ten pounds per gallon. When you are traveling on the road having water in your tanks it means that you are traveling with a lot of extra weight in the RV.

The tanks are made in the center so that the weight is located in the center and remains balanced in every situation. This thing will not cause tripping or rolling on one end or side when you are going around corners.


Why air conditioners are located on the top Of RV

The air conditioners are present on the top of the RV so that the hot air can be easily discharged from the unit while providing cold air inside the recreational vehicle. Most of the RV models contain basement conditioners that help lower the center of gravity of the RV. But there is one disadvantage of these basement air conditioners they take up a lot of valuable basement storage space that is not in your favor.
