Are they the same size as the standard hatch that comes at the rear passenger location or are they smaller? Thank You!

After confirming our 21NE build sheet, we were advised by ETI that the manual awning that we ordered prevented having
a pass through hatch installed. The arms of the manual awning
passenger side interfered with the hatch opening.
As for size, I can only presume that the hatch would be the same size as that on the
drivers side of the trailer...which is also smaller than the rear
passenger side hatch opening.
The
front drivers side hatch provides access to storage under the dinette seating area, which also includes trailer wiring and electronics. Considering under seat access can be a challenge, IMHO, I would describe the second smaller hatch as a nice to have rather than a need to have...especially with all the electrics contained within.
