They call those 'windoors'....they usually have a window and open upward for access and an open air feeling.
They are included in the base price with the ARE DCU cap, but you do get a small credit applied if you don't want them.
Of course, you can have the windoors made without windows, or one side only, or TWO seperate windoors, on one side..or whatever your preference is.
Here is the ARE DCU website:

Here is a website with the price lists online:

Keep in mind that these are not actually made for camping, so they don't have RV style interior door latches. You might want to closely scrutinize the door latches at the dealership before you place an order.
They can be opened and closed from inside, but since they lock from the outside with a key, you have to manually operate the latch inside and physically move the lock rods. Then a visegrip will lock them in place to keep you secure. Or slide-bolt locks could be installed to secure the door from inside.
I keep a small 1/8" hex key handy inside, so that if someone did manage to secure the T-handle latch from outside, I can still loosen the lock rods from the mechanism and get out.
