Something to consider. While I tend to avoid regular campgrounds thats not always an option.

The right side does kind of make sense for all the reasons suggested by others especially with the appliances all venting on the left side. This is usually where the grey water pail lives too - not the most appealing companion while enjoying a cool one. All that being said, I think Chnlisle has the best idea: figure out a way to easily move it from side to the other.

Here's another option. We ordered the Grandby with the track but not the awning. The second I saw the track I knew I could easily rig up a light rope salvaging on the edge of my camping tarp and slip it into the track. This will allow us to set up the tarp on the camper just like the factory model and also to set it up over a table or anywhere else just like when we're backcountry camping. This will add versatility although admittedly at the expense of convenience.

Oh ya and the camping tarp is only $50 to $100 for a good one.

I too would put it on the pass side if I didn't put it across the rear.

Where do you find a good tarp? All that I seem to be able to find are HF clones (i.e. cheap junk).
