Jayco outdoor kitchen

[Bzeitham]

We are considering a new Jayco fiver. I noticed that it does not look like they are offering an outdoor kitchen any longer in the 2014 models. Am I overlooking something or did they have issues with them?

Thanks...

I guess in the long run there is no substitute for a cold beer straight out of the ice. Maybe its the redneck in me coming out!LOL:B

x2, cooler for ice/beer/pop to keep the rug rats outside.

We were just up at Gayle Kline RV in Pa. looking at a new Jayco bunk model with the outdoor kitchen. Wife loves the idea. While I think it is a neat feature, I am less impressed on the installation. The fridge is just a small $125 dollar 120vac model you can buy at Walmart, and the smallest, cheapest microwave I have seen. Time for us to get a new camper, not many to choose from these days. The Jaycos seem about the best of what is left in the middle price models. If you get this model I think I will be doing some upgrading of those components.

I know many find the outdoor kitchens to be great. I really have no need for a microwave outside. Who does?

Love our outdoor kitchen - keep all drinks in outside fridge and kids drink boxes. No need to run inside over and over again. We cook onions, sausage, and bacon outside to keep the interior from smelling like fair grounds. Like front living rooms, Ford or Chevy, and vanilla or chocolate everyone has their own preferences.

We just ordered this 2014 Jayco Eagle Premier 375BHFS. Bought it at the Hershey Show. Trading our Class A for it. We will have the end of October. It has the Outdoor Kitchen with Fridge, Microwave, & Sink. I can't wait to get it!

We use our outside kitchen for cooking thats done..outside. we keep items for the grill there along with bug candles, roasting forks and hobo pie holders along with things to make homemade icecream and the jiffy popcorn a small bottle of soap for quick clean ups and also the tablecloth for picnic tables and thats about it.. Im sure its not for everyone and im sure some love them, it takes all kinds to make the world go around.

what I don't care about with the outdoor kitchens is the larger ones with drawers and cupboards that to me is a pain, duplication again for stuff you need to put in, dear where is the spatula,,,,, oh its outside (sht),,, where is the flipper (sht) outside again,
My cougar has a 2 burner cook top with a small sink beside it, and its under the awning close to the table which is nice, thats ok I like that, unless its windy then its useless. and I would not mind the extra fridge space (that it does not have)but I don't want to sacrifice an inch inside,

Our lifestyle does not need an outdoor kitchen. So we are in agreement with Bumpy. But I can see where it might be a neat feature for others that camp a lot with kids.

Yup,obviously they are still available.

I really like the outdoor kitchen and the extra bar fridge is very handy. Although we've just downsized from a 29' trailer to the Winnebago 2201DS at 26'9", the outdoor kitchen was one of the reasons for choosing it.

the 2014 eagle 34.5bhts has an outside kitchen

I am not a fan of outdoor kitchens. I agree with Bumpy too much duplication.
I see no need for 2 stoves,microwaves or sinks. Space can be better utilized as simple storage.
However we each have our own opinions and likes.
Nevertheless I don't think Jayco would have discontinued the outdoor kitchens if they were a popular/profitable option.
