Kitchen with Island pros and cons
In choosing a fifth wheel what are the pros and cons to an island in the kitchen? I also noticed some floor plans have recliners and sofa that do not directly face the television. Is this a problem? ...

I really wanted an island. I found on my sabre 34REQS I could access my pantry, fridge and most things in my kitchen with slides in. I can walk all they way to the back and access almost everything except the back wall with slides in. The bathroom is also easily accessible on the road. Ours is a rear entertainment so we have sofa and chairs facing each other and tv on the back wall. The recliners are easily movable so we just angle them a bit to see the TV better. We go on our maiden voyage this weekend so I can't tell you long term how this works but for the amount of time we basement sitting in it at home and at the dealership (pretty much the equivalent of 2 weekend trips), it has worked well.
As to the comment saying an island is wasted space, I disagree. I was always struggling for cooking space cooking for my family of 3 in my old tt with a small L shaped counter. It was even worse for the couple of trips a year we did that involved pot luck dinners with friends or rallies. So for us it is not wasted space. It all boils down to your camping style, needs and wants.
