Rear Kitchen

HERE are six pages of an older post with the same question! Now that we actually have a RK don't think we would have anything else. RL's are nice but seems like with the rear recliners you never get to take advantage of most "views" anyway. DW loves the kitchen and counter space!

2012 Sundance RK. We take a little extra care packing but nothing serious. Weren't careful enough the first year and broke the Microwave turntable no we pad it with some bubble wrap and it's fine.

DW loves the kitchen storage and counter space.

Our 1st 5th wheel was a rear bath model with a tiny center kitchen.
Our last two 5th wheel trailers were the RK models. Our current '97 RK has over 125k miles with no issues.
Were looking to downsize to a shorter trailer or maybe back to a truck camper. If its a trailer the wife sayzz it will be another RK.

Had RK in our Excel for about 10 years. The only thing that broke was the glass tray in the microwave which was along the back wall. After getting a new tray we put a small throw pillow in the microwave whenever we traveled. No more problem.

We have a 30 foot fifth wheel with a rear kitchen. We are able to leave the coffee maker on the counter and it usually stays put, maybe moves an inch or two for a full days driving. We had on exception, we had to stop hard once and there were a series of bumps that made it move 6 to 8 inches.

We've had two RK models over the past 14-15 years and only once did we have any broken dishes. That was a BAD section of road! We also lost part of the window housing in the bedroom (front) and had a flat tire on that same section of gravel road, so I don't blame the broken dishes on having a rear kitchen. Neither had shocks on the suspension -- an older Jayco and our current (2006) Puma.

We hope to get a bigger 5th wheel in the coming years, and we'd get it with a mid kitchen simply because on the larger ones we like the rear living room. On a small one, we'd stick with the rear kitchen.

We have a Komfort RK and would have another RK in. Heart beat. We've only had one real issue when on I-217 through Portland. They were resurfacing si every bridge (too many) had a temporary ramps for each bridge. Nothing was broke but the fridge was all jumbled.

We have a Columbus RK and never have problems. I think the suspension makes a difference.

The suspension means everything. We had a CK that would throw gallon jugs out of the kitchen sink til I reworked the suspension. This RK 5er has Morryde LRE and things even stay put on the counter tops. We love the RK arrangement. Craig

2dnd year with a rear kitchen and I believe the drawer under the midship sofa has move more than anything in the kitchen.
