nice t/d... lots of $$

I would echo that for two people we need two doors. The missus wants to be on the side next to the screen room tent and for those late night potty calls I do not want to crawl over her and maybe wake her. Two doors works best for us.

I guess I'm in a minority here, but my wife and I have been happy with just one door. Here's my post from a previous thread poll about 1 vs. 2 doors.
"We have one door with a 21" square window, and a large (31"x23") window on the opposite side. The big window gives us lots of light and good ventilation, and it's an emergency exit type window, so we can get out if we have to.
As for late night bathroom trips, I sleep on the door side, so if I need to go, I just get up and go. If my wife goes, I'm going with her anyway. I won't let her walk to a campground bathroom alone in the middle of the night! We don't regret not having a second door."
I should probably add that we've never had any other teardrop, so we don't know what it's like to have two doors. We might get spoiled if we did!

First tear has only one door, the next will have two. For all the reasons listed by so many here.
Did build a one person only "tear" that has just one door, actually a back hatch, knowing it would be for "solo" sleeping only.

my emergency exit is my other door... :}

I was told point blank by my wife there will be 2 doors so I put in 3 just in case!!
I found with I pulled mine to NM where heat cant be HOT haing cross ventalation best and 3 way even better.
I have not put in a skylight but I have been told by everyone I will do that too.
When you got ta go you got to go and I want to save my marrage.
I will vote for you 2 doors there you have been told.
Now do what ever you want.
If the bear is approching one side you want to be at a full run out the other....

If my trailer had only one door I know which side my wife would want, not the side with no door. And then I would be hesitant to crawl out over her if I wanted to get out while she was sleeping. Two doors is definitely better for us.

What all the "two-door-advocates said"

It just makes so many things easier. Never have to worry which side you leave the td in the camping space. Either side is the street side. You can get up carefully w/o waking your mate. Both of you can get in or out quickly.

2 doors. for lots of reasons. A ship has 2 sides and exits to use for numerous purposes. One is for quick exit.



Besides I want to come to sleep real quietly if the wife is already there sleeping.

Earlier in this thread, I mentioned that I only put one door in my trailer because it was a one-sleeper; but wished that I had put in two right from the start. I also mentioned that I was thinking about adding a second door like I had originally planned. It's a definite now. When the weather breaks, I will be taking my saw to the side of Itty-Bitty and adding a second door. She won't look the same when I'm done with her because I got a new pair of windows in a different style. (The 12x18 crank-outs in her now will be re-cycled into another build.) So sometime in the next couple of months start watching for before and after pictures.

I have heard that a two-door teardrop is a marriage saver.
