Passanger side vacs?

[Eric H]

I am remodeling an existing location and adding 2 IBAs. Part of the remodel includes reversing the current traffic pattern. Currently traffic enters a dedicated entrance and travels around the building clockwise goes thru the bays and exit a dedicated exit. The new traffic pattern will have a common entrance/exit and have the traffic going in a counter-clockwise direction.
While this change in traffic pattern allows for a left hand turn into the IBAs, it brings up the problem of having vacs on the passanger side of the vehicle along a fence line or having pull in/back out vacs on the drivers side.
I know that customers prefer to pull up on the drives side but the pull in/back out vacs seem like more trouble with customers having to back out, possibly into the que line.
Do you have a site with vacs on the passanger side of the car? Do you think that they get less use because they are on the passanger side?
BTW: There will be 6 pull in/ back out vacs in the front of the property but there is enough of clearance in the front to allow manuvering.

I don't think it matters that much.

People just pull the vac hose thru the car to get to the other side anyway, usually.

My thought is; where there are vacs, they will vac.

Have lots of vac islands where customers have the Passenger side next to the vac. Some are set up like gas islands so cars approach from both sides. Some are at a fence or wall so they can only approach from one side. Never thought it was an issue.

I have vac islands that are accessible from both sides and the customers don't care UNLESS their car has only one sliding side door (vans, etc). In that case I have noticed they turn the van around to access it better. I also have the Mosmatic airsystem which makes it easier to reach the other side of the car http://www.mosmatic.com/cms2/us/content/products/car-wash.html
However, with this system the hose can leave marks on the car.
