- jeff__hExplorerI cooked outside all the time with the TT. Had a table set up with a grill and an electric griddle.
The new 5th wheel comes with an outdoor stove, refrigerator and microwave and sink to add to the grill and griddle I already have. I don't foresee the indoor kitchen getting used much at all in the coming years. - fj12ryderExplorer IIINope, we bought the 5th wheel so we wouldn't have to cook outside as we did with the popups. We have the kitchen inside and it works fine. No desire to "rough it". :)
- BTPO1ExplorerI like to cook outside for several reasons. It gets me outside where I am able to talk to other people who may be out walking. It keeps the grease mess outside and not on the walls. It keeps the DW happy as she can sleep longer since the dog and I are outside and not moving around. I don't have slides on my MH and by being outside I have a lot more room to move around in. I just like being outside, that is why I go Camping. JMO
- goducks10ExplorerWe try too as much as possible. Some things are messy and cooking them outside keeps the inside cleaner. Hard to in the colder months though so we limit ourselves to what we cook during those months.
I set up two 4' folding tables next to the 5'er in an 'L' shape and have my Weber Q and a 2 burner cook stove. I run both off of a 20lb propane tank. - sclarkExplorerWe use our old Coleman stove. Like others have said it saves on odors on the inside. Cooking fish or bacon can get a bit messy.
- LynnandCarolExplorerWe sometime use our Butane Big Chef one burner stove outside.
- FlatBrokeExplorer IICarry a grill along with a Coleman stove. On the rare occasion when we have bacon with our breakfast it gets cooked outside along with our other smelly foods.
- ROADSTARJRExplorerI cook outside more than inside makes outside smell GOOD
- wildtoadExplorer IIAnytime we want to cook something that requires a stove, I hook up an old propane camp stove. We have never used the stove in the RV, nor have we used to oven. Microwave - Yes, Grill - Yes.
- TvovExplorer IIWe use a Thermos Grill-2-Go, similar to:

We use the grill all the time. Being portable, we can move it under the awning in adverse weather, or move it to give us more room under the awning.
Our TT came with an outdoor propane grill that attached to the side of the camper... I tried for two seasons to use it, I was just never happy with it. This was 10 years ago, though, and I've seen some of the newer camper grills and they seem better.
I have not used an outdoor "stovetop" - but I would think it would be great for things like frying and boiling.
