It would only be a small door because of the wheel well

You will end up with the toilet door hatch only that will fit , far easier to remove the end panels and just open the rear doors

I removed completely and use magnets to secure them back in place

Whichever way you do it, the convenient access gained is a huge bonus. We kept our outside 'hardware' under one side so there was no need to traipse through the van to get at the ramps, hoses and so on. 

I’ve heard numerous people question why AS don’t fit this simple mod.

Ditto, incl magnets
The wooden structure only goes fwd as far as the wheelarch (Duo not XL) The pics were during construction, looked as lot better finished!
That leaves space for water and the water hoses etc. The green things are the two camping chairs, the racks above hold bottles and cans...lots! the space to the right of the box looking down to the wheelarch held 6 x 2 ltr bottles of water too....2nd pic other side
