oh, ok. sorry. I almost was roommates once with a girl who had a
trailer, and there was only one door, which it freaked me out. Well,
actually the whole thing freaked me out, but you know what I mean. :)

Lots of the older (single-wides) have only one door....and so
do most RVs.


Well, you must be talking REALLY old. My father was in the mobile
business (plant manager) from the late 60's to the early 80's. He said
that when he first got into the business in the late 60's that it was
code for all mobile homes to have 2 doors.

As a matter of fact, he just sold 10 acres that had a mobile home on
it that was being used for storage that was built in 1954, and it had
2 doors.

Yup, really old ones -- and you'd be surprised how many
of them are still in use. I'm talking single-wides built pre-
1960s. Like Marianna, I knew someone who lived in a
single-wide with only one exit door -- and the bedrooms
were at opposite ends of the trailer. She lived there in
the early 1980s, and the trailer was about 25 years old
then. It's still there, in that little mouldering park.

I wonder at what size the 2-door rule kicks in. We have a 2005 or 6 truck camper (the kind that goes on the bed of a pickup, and has extra space that goes above the cab). It has only one exit door, but on the ceiling is a pop-up thing to provide access to the roof from inside. I always thought it was there so someone could pass beers up while others were on the roof watching fireworks, but maybe it's for more practical reasons. Learn something new every day :-)


For RVs and campers, the rules are different. We've seen gigantic
motorhomes (the disco-pimp tricked-out ones) that have two
doors: but they're the drivers's and passenger doors, so you
have to climb over the seats to get inside. Most, though, have
a side door.

Our 5th wheel has one door, plus the two emergency window
exits.

Does your camper have a ladder on the outside? If not, that
ceiling hatch is for roof access, so you can repair problems.

The motto of RVers is "if you don't have a leak, you just
haven't found it yet".
