Are you asking.....what TT or fifth wheels have more counter space?
.....how to make a counter or island?
You will find that most TT or fifth wheels have the same amount of counter space. Except for a few high end 5rs that have an island. The odd TT that has an island has the sink in so you are not gaining
Our TT has a breakfast bar to the left as you first go in, with 2 stools, as well as the reg table. I use that for extra counter.
I thought you found a fifth wheel that you like the layout.
Have not settled on one yet. Still shopping.
This is a mod forum, so I am asking for counter space mods.
It is impossible to give any ideas on such a mod without KNOWING the EXACT LAYOUT of said RV.
As someone else NOTED, RVing is about COMPROMISES, you have a limited amount of SPACE to work with. You can't simply build a 6ft deep 20 ft long "island" into a RV that is 8ft wide and perhaps 40ft long like you can at your sticks and bricks home.
It seems to me that you NEED to trim down your "expectations" or perhaps you should consider just staying a Hotels. Or perhaps look at some 50+ ft Motor homes with quad super slides. Then perhaps you will find "space" for more counters..
As far as kitchen counter space, we USE THE OUTDOORS for all of our cooking. Prep work, cooking and clean up is all done outdoors, keeps the mess out of the RV. Helps to keep ANTS outside (AND YES, YOU WILL "learn" to "enjoy" ANTS when camping :M ). That works for us but we don't camp in winter nor do we full time.
