I like the garage idea and lean toward the side door loading. If you keep it short, you will not need to put any angle in it and can keep it low. You will be putting a lot of weight hanging back there so try to add heavier items toward the front to counteract it.
The slideouts are another animal. Adding them takes the "simple, quickly" out of the equation. We gave up on the idea. Too expensive and too much engineering to make it work. If I had to do it, I would look at getting one out of a salvage yard RV.
When we built ours, we bolted the trailer hitch to the frame rails and built the box around them. You can't just weld the receiver to the box unless you make the box out of some pretty beefy tubes. You are going to have to plan the hitch before you start building the box.
