[Mobile-Portable] ?? Where to locate Tarheel 2 on Dodge Caravan

Which side of Dodge Caravan rear door (hatch) is better location for Tarheel
2 HF antenna (on diamond mount)?

A local friend installed his Tarheel 2 (with Diamond mount) on passenger
side--but does not have any good reason for having done so.  Years ago, I
remember everyone saying to mount HF antennas on driver side so as not to
hit any low hanging tree limbs that might be on passenger side.  Can anyone
suggest a preference--and a reason?  Are there any good reason not to mount
antenna on driver side (computer wiring, etc.)?

I'll appreciate your feedback.  Thanks.
