Just some food for thought,
was loading up in rear comp. Today, would it not be alot easier if the door opened the other way, or even better if the hinge was on top and it swung up from the bottom and and could be latched open,
 
I keep a one foot bungee cord (maybe it's two feet, length is similar to door height) in the rear storage area. When I open the door I clip the bungee over the top and bottom of the door and across the bed support frame. Keeps the door open nicely without banging in the wind.

I installed the same type spring loaded clip that holds the main door open on the compartment door. Used a sticky type pad to hold it in place, and positioned it at a angle so that with the door opened it clips onto the bed support stay. Works great, looks professional and is still is stuck really well. Door stays open even in the windiest conditions. Spring clips available at any RV dealer. Sorry no pictures right now as TM still stored in garage.

was thinking more in the way of being able to load easier,with the hinge on other side or on the top would not have to crawl under the bed all the time to get to something in or out, if it opened from the left to right, we should be able to reach in without the door in way from the side,
 
You might be able to flip it around, if you're inclined enough. I haven't really looked at that as a solution, but these doors are just jammed into a cut-out and caulked in, so you may very well be able to remove it and rotate 180 and pop it back in with additional caulk and have it the way you want.
