Have you actually looked at a Sprinter? In my Outback, there are 2 drawers on the living room side of the kitchen island and a door beside that (not accessible when the slides are in - this is the only cabinet not accessible when slides are in). There's one drawer on the end of the island (for silverware ... facing the table), there's a door under the sink, a door under the oven, and the pantry. We put extra wire shelves in the pantry. Above the refrigerator is a door (cabinet) too. So all in all, there are 9 compartments for storage for the kitchen.
Hope this helps. You're right about the water capacity.
