Hi Folks.Just wondering if you use your indoor kitchen and to what extent. I haven't used mine in years. I've been setting up an outdoor kitchen as well as grills, smokers and dutch ovens to do my cooken. Lately I've added up the prep, cook, clean and tear down. Although it's an enjoyable hobby, it's eating up much time that could be otherwise spent in my gravity chair. I'm thinkien of keeping it simple with oven meals and simple stove top meals. Again just for discussion purposes was wondering what you guys and gals do.

You live in So. Cal. I hear tell that it doesn't rain much there..as in DROUGHT.We live and camp in the Northwest where it does rain from time to time, so--- yes, from time to time we do use our indoor kitchen....:)

We have an outside kitchen, we open the door, connect a couple hoses to the propane and we hav our grill, stove, fridge and sink ready to go. We do almost all our cooking outside. we put up a tarp if it is raining to give us a little more room.Inside kitchen is used to heat coffee water and grill muffins if it is below freezing in the morning and we do more dishes (pots, pans, cooking utinsils) inside as the sink is bigger. That is about it.

First couple of trailers the DW made me cook outside but since we bought the 333MKS with the larger more roomer kitchen she's been cooking inside most of the time.

We use the stove top on a regular basis when we camp but in two years we have only used the oven one time.

Depends. If camping for the sake of camping, with nothing else to do and tons of spare time, cooking outside works great. If we're camping or travelling in the RV for a specific purpose or event, the indoor kitchen is far more convenient. It can be used in parking lots, rest areas, truck stops, etc.

Most all cooking is done outside. Any prep & washing is done inside.

Routinely do both, no issues either way. Also use our convection microwave oven often while regular oven goes unused. Eat often at local restaurants as well, we are RVing and don't follow any real patterns when on the road, just do what we want when the whim hits us.

depends on weather, summer when it is warm out, we cook outside. When it is cooler, we cook inside.

We always use the kitchen but carry a portable stove for the rare large meal that we need more burner space. I can't imagine doing all the extra work of preparing food outside rather than in our perfectly good kitchen.
