Claim 11:
12. A vehicle comprising:
a chassis having wheels secured thereto and defining a forward end and a rearward end, the chassis defining a longitudinal direction along which the vehicle rolls on the wheels when traveling in a straight line, a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction, the vertical direction being defined such that, when the wheels are supported on a flat surface, the vertical direction is normal to the flat surface, the forward end and the rearward end being offset from one another along the longitudinal direction, the chassis defining a door frame having a forward door frame member, a rearward door frame member, and a lower door frame member extending between the forward door frame member and the rearward door frame member, the rearward door frame member and forward door member being offset from one another along the longitudinal direction;
a door positionable within the door frame and secured to the forward door frame member by a door pivot having an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction and the longitudinal direction;
an actuator secured to the door frame at a first actuator pivot and secured to the door at a second actuator pivot, the first actuator pivot being further rearward than the door pivot along the longitudinal direction;
a latch secured to the door; and
a striker secured to the rearward door frame member at an upper end thereof, the latch configured to secure to the striker when the door is positioned within the door frame, wherein the striker is oriented substantially parallel to the vertical direction.
