Are you having a bad day?

Do you realize that people have different styles?

would you actually buy a RV without a kitchen inside? I bet 99% of the folks here wouldn't. I am excluding some tiny tear drops that have a kitchen area in the rear ..

I'll be odd man out.....well.....sort of.

For "me" an outside kitchen would be a PITA. I like to cook things like bacon and hamburgers and stuff that spits and splatters all over the place. That stuff goes EVERYWHERE and gets on EVERYTHING! If I had an outside kitchen I would spend half my vacation cleaning up the outside of my trailer and kitchen area. Nope, not for me.

If I cook on a fire there is nothing to clean up besides the pan. (besides, food tastes better over a fire; everybody knows that!)

I don't really like to eat outside anyway. I always have to fight with the bees and fly's and nats and ants or whatever over my food.

Speaking of ants. Ants LUUUUVE grease and can smell that stuff for miles. They will walk to the end of the earth for just a drop of the stuff. Where are they likely to find it? Yep, outside kitchen!

We have a full width bath and I would not give that up, especially in the size camper we have. 85% of my cooking is on a Weber kettle, both at home and glamping. I do use the stove and have set up the kitchen like I want it: SS sink, decent faucet, spice racks, etc.
We also like to keep everything as simple as possible, so no doubling of maintenance items.
Different strokes, you know.

A lot of the outside kitchens we seen while at the shows last winter, had a counter height that was about 4' or 5' off the ground. What is up with that?

We had a couple in a Winnebago TT on the site beside us a few weeks back and the poor girl had to stand on a Homer bucket.

I can see using that 120 volt refrigerator if your RVing consists of parking your RV at a lake/etc. with hookups and spending a weeks vacation there.

What is your camping style?

My DW has no use for another kitchen, she like having all her cooking stuff at hand when she cooks.

Our friends love theirs, it gives them more of an outdoor feel and they like the outdoor fridge. Of course the outdoor fridge only works when they have shore power.

My camping style is about to change with the addition of a TT as I am coming from mostly backpacking or canoe camping, but what I do love is outdoor cooking whether I am at home or camping, I also do the majority of the cooking for the family as well. The fact that the fridge is only functional with shore power is why I will likely ditch it for storage as I plan to do a lot of rustic camping to wean myself off of the backcountry camping;)

What does DW stand for?

isn't a refrigerator that only works when plugged into 120 volts sort of worthless? I'd prefer an Ice chest myself, works 24/7/365

We have an outdoor kitchen, that is really the outdoor party bar (and sometimes cook stove). I replaced the faucet with a bar faucet, to make it tall enough to be useful. All the red solo cups go in the overhead cabinet, all the beverages that need to be cold in the fridge, the margarita maker and liquor on the counter.

Occasionally, I will cook something on the gas burners - like omelets for breakfast.

I wish that I could have an awning over mine.

Our camping includes many days of just relaxing, allowing the kids to play. This is perfect for that type of camping.
