Kitchen with Island pros and cons

I like my island kitchen. The pro's are that it offers my counter space, more storage. My sink is also located in the island. I'm not sure if that is a pro or a con. The one con on my model is you can't get to the kitchen with the slide closed. Not all models are this way. I didn't like the floor plans that had the tv behind the island. The model that we went with has a rear entertainment centre so we can see the tv without sitting awkwardly.

While RV kitchens are always a little short on counter space, it is an RV. I think kitchen islands are a waste space. It's not like you're going to have a gourmet kitchen making meals for 10 - 20 people and a lot of people gathering to socialize in the kitchen while you're doing it.

Spoken like a man! Lol. We did not have the island, as we wanted to access kitchen while traveling. I think if you can find a plan that allows some access to kitchen- refrigerator, sink, etc, then it would be GREAT!!!
