OMGosh, I can't believe I owned 4 previous trailers without an outdoor kitchen. Would never go without again. We don't have to put every single thing we eat on a grill, but it sure is a nice space for an induction stove top, doing prep work, extra fridge space, not to mention storage for everything to set up a meal outdoors. My knees despise the steps, and every fly in the county just waits for an open door opportunity. The only space my wonderful kitchen is eating up, is more storage that would be designed into the interior. I'd much, much rather have it outside where I should be. As a bonus, I don't have to hide a cooler for the night or put anything away. Just close it up and done.
