Do you use your outside kitchen?

[EcoBullet]

Do those of you that have them use them often? I'm looking at a trailer that has one (Premier 22RB). It's not something I would seek out, but I really like the trailer otherwise and wonder if it might actually be a nice addition. Comments are appreciated.

We have one 45 gallon gray tank and an outside kitchen.

ours has two 30 gallon gray tanks that are linked together. 60 gallons seems pretty big

What I have seen so far, the trailers that I like with the outdoor kitchen, also have a great indoor kitchen. I have neither 😞

I could live with a really good indoor kitchen, or with an outdoor kitchen and my current crappy indoor kitchen.

Well we can still sleep 4 in the bunk room so no real space lost.

We didn't think we wanted an outside kitchen when we purchased this latest TT last year. But, we had to take it to get some other features inside that we really wanted. On our 4000+ mile trip last September, we didn't cook inside once. Between the outside kitchen, the portable grill, and the electric skillet, everything was done outside.

Except for one morning when I made toast inside. Learned to not do that again. Also learned the smoke detector inside was quite sensitive. And loud.

Premier has one and some trailers with rear bathrooms have them.

I have researched this myself and came up with the Jayco32rlds and I believe Crossroads RV HCT32rl comes to mind.

Like most others we use the outdoor kitchen a majority of the time. This is our first TT and we talk often how we probabnly wouldn't own another without the outdoor kitchen. Not only is the extra fridge great for drinks but the counter space and sink makes for a convenient and very easy access wet bar, something I don't even have in house.

Driving by to make sure the roof hadn't caved in from all the snow this winter made me long for spring.

We had the outside flip down double burner/sink in our Outback and used it often. That is one feature I miss.

I wouldn't have much use for the outside fridge and would probably remove it for extra storage and lighten the load.

Was one of my must haves when we looke dfor new unit, ours doesn't have a stovetop which is fine with me, gives more prep space and use the grill majority of time anyway. The sink is great to have outside for washing hands and dishes, even though it's small. Downfall is the fridge is 120V so only works when at a site or with generator running. No problem fill it before we go with full power and lasts until we get to destination.

Our other must have was the direct door to a bathroom, with the kids this has really cut down on dirty feet in camper. Now if we could just get the furkids to wipe their feet.

We have had two TTs with the outside kitchen and I wouldn't have a trailer without one. The only thing we use the inside kitchen is for baking. With some of the food we cook, bacon for one... the smell will stay inside for a while. So Keeping it outside isn't so bad.

We intentionally avoided an outside kitchen. We still cook outside with a Coleman or the Weber. We often camp in bear country and didn't want the outside kitchen smells, we prefer to separate it from the trailer by several dozen feet. Also, outside fridges are 120v and we often camp without Elec HU
