Class A motorhomes with an outdoor kitchen
An outdoor kitchen on a Class A motorhome puts a cooking station on the exterior of the coach, usually behind a compartment door under a powered awning, so you can grill and prep without heating up the inside. Most setups include a built-in grill or outdoor BBQ burner, a small sink, and counter space, though the exact lineup varies by floor plan.
The Holiday Rambler Invicta 36Y and the Fleetwood Fortis 36Y are two well-equipped examples of this outside kitchen layout.

Class A motorhomes with outdoor kitchen and...
Benefits of outdoor kitchen
- Keeps cooking heat and smells outside
- Built-in grill and counter at the campsite without the work and mess of a real fire
- Pairs well with an outdoor entertainment setup - did someone say tailgating?
- Even if you don't cook outdoors, having a second fridge is incredibly helpful
- Super convenient for kids — easy access to drinks, snacks, popsicles, and quick lunches without constantly going in and out of the RV
Things to consider
- Adds weight and exterior plumbing to winterize
- Needs a water hookup or onboard tank for the sink
- Location matters a lot — if it's positioned under an awning arm, beside a slide, or somewhere that interferes with campsite furniture, it can be awkward to use
Similar layouts
Most Class A coaches with an exterior kitchen mount the station on the curbside, behind a compartment door that folds down into a work surface. You'll typically find a propane grill or two-burner cooktop, a small stainless sink, and storage for utensils. A few floor plans go further with a refrigerator drawer or a dedicated prep area. If grilling is the priority, check whether the plan includes a built-in outdoor BBQ or just a burner and a stub-out for a portable unit. The Thor Hurricane 34J and the Coachmen Mirada 29FW are two more worth comparing.
The outside kitchen earns its keep for campers who settle into one spot for several nights and want the mess and heat kept out of the interior galley. If you move camp often, it's worth confirming the compartment latches securely and doesn't add a winterization step you'll dread. Many shoppers who want this also add an outdoor entertainment setup, and families comparing layouts often look at plans with a rear bedroom or bunk beds.
Popular questions
What is typically included in a Class A motorhome outdoor kitchen?
Most include a propane grill or burner, a small sink, counter space, and storage for utensils. Higher-end floor plans sometimes add a refrigerator drawer or a dedicated prep surface. The exact setup varies by manufacturer, so check the floor plan's feature list.
Which side of the coach is the outdoor kitchen on?
Almost always the curbside, which is the passenger side of the coach. That keeps the cooking area away from campsite traffic and the driver's-side slideouts. When you book a site, confirm the curbside will face your outdoor space and not a fence or a neighboring rig.
Do Class A motorhomes with an outdoor kitchen cost more?
The outdoor kitchen is usually one feature among several on a well-appointed floor plan, so it's hard to isolate its cost. Comparing two trims of the same model, the one with the exterior kitchen may run a few thousand dollars more at MSRP, but availability and negotiation matter more in practice.
