Class A Curiosity feature

Howdy, new guy to the neighborhood. Just retired last yr, now I'm ready to fly. lol. We've been camping for some time now down here in Texas and would like to step it up (in a big way, lol).
God bless y'all because y'all are such a fount of knowledge. Really.
Anyway, I have a question. Maybe y'all can help me. So here we go: Why is it that your mid range and more expensive models (class A's) Don't have Kitchenettes (outside kitchens)? I noticed that quite a few models that are below $135K Have Exterior Kitchens, but the more expensive coaches don't. Why is that.
We'd love to get a Monarch, Entegra, phaeton, Allegra but from my understanding and research they don't have ext. Kitchens. So I'm relegated to having to choose between, the FleetW Storm, HR vacay, Winn Vista/sunstar, Coachman Mirada, Thor Windsport and Hurrican (but I heard bad things about Thor).
Is there a Non Entry level that has a kitchenette?
thanks for Everything.

  • I see some of the Winnebago DPs with a slide out kitchen, (cooktop, fridge) but I think most people take them out eventually in favor of storage.

  • Much of the reason for outside kitchens is due to the lack of space inside. In ours, although it is not very big, our grill and outside stuff fit very well in the basement, and at a campsite, if needed, it set up on the tables outside. Most cooking is done inside, cause that is where all the stuff is, and it is a pain to carry it all outside and them back in.
  • I have heard the same about Thor but I can honestly say that I have had some issues with mine and they have been there 100% for me. ???
