Two is a must if you share a bed. Solo, one is fine.

* I camp solo, and have found that having a second door is very useful. Though I use the curbside door as my usual entry, primarily since most state park sites are set-up where power & water are on the streetside, as is my power access point, here are other reasons to have two doors on a TD, or or a home-built TTT like my squareback (not a factory option on our larger TT, that I never have traveled-in.

* Possible reasons:
  • 1) an emergency exit, if the other side becomes blocked (fallen tree, rockslide, fire, bear, mother-in-law?),
  • 2) a great location for a side-tent (porta-potty/changing clothes/outdoor shower room),
  • 3) an alternative entrance (if the other side has no view, is parked beside nosy, or encroaching adjacent park-site neighbors...similarly, using canopy side-walls, like switching which door you use, can, like fences, make good neighbors!)

2 just makes it more versatile when camping and having the option of using one side or the other. Don't think I could handle 'just having one' :thumbdown: especially when just making to make the bed!! having access from either side makes it so much easier when doing "any" work on the trailer :thumbsup: ................
