Hey David,
According to the installation instructions for etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98852, there are no requirements on which side you start with and since this is a symmetrical hitch, you'll be fine either way. I've attached the manual and our install video to help you with the install. That video has tips and tricks for the install and torquing the bolts down. Are you using this hitch for any fun trips coming up?
