If you're sitting in your tow vehicle, curbside = right, street side = left.

Yes, I guess I should have added "Unless you live where they drive on the wrong side of the road..." LOL!

I call it "acute cranial-rectal inversion"

The only thing worse?

CHRONIC cranial-rectal inversion.

Right side in the USA, is the door side, off road side.

Left side, is the drivers side, off door side, road side.

Where the driver sits in a vehicle in the USA, is the left side.

But please ignore our postal trucks, as they reverse that so filling your mail box is easier, for them.

If you park at the curb and go around and open the Airstream door, "streetside" is the other side.

Not sure about "curbside", though. I will research and get back to you.

In the USA, "Curbside" means the door side, the off street side, the right side.
