An outdoor kitchen on a fifth wheel brings a sink, counter space, and usually a grill or burner to the exterior of the rig, so you can cook and hang out outside without running in and out of the camper. Most setups are built into a compartment on the street side or curb side, often with a fold-down or slide-out counter, a small refrigerator or cooler drawer, and a burner or outdoor bbq. The Jayco North Point 377RLBH and the Grand Design Solitude 390RK are great examples that pair a fully equipped outside kitchen with a spacious floor plan.

If you enjoy spending time outside, an exterior kitchen can genuinely change how you use your rig, not to mention it will help keep the heat and cooking smells outdoors and free up the interior for lounging.

Outdoor kitchens on fifth wheels range from a basic exterior kitchen with a single burner and a small counter to full setups with a sink, refrigerator drawer, griddle, and enclosed storage. The feature is most common on longer, feature-rich floor plans, though some mid-size fifth wheels include a scaled-down version. The Jayco North Point 390CKDS and the Keystone Montana 3857BR are good examples of how the outside kitchen shows up across different builders.

If you're full-timing or camping with a full house, moving meal prep outdoors keeps the galley from heating up the whole living space, which many families appreciate on summer trips. One thing to check first: on some floor plans the counter or burner is only reachable when a slide-out is deployed, so if you park at overnight stops where you can't extend, look for a fixed-compartment setup.

Since these units tend to run long, it's worth comparing options like fifth wheels with a kitchen island or a farmhouse sink to make sure the interior galley suits you too. Families often pair the outdoor bbq with fifth wheel bunkhouse floor plans.

Popular questions

What is typically included in a fifth wheel outdoor kitchen?

It varies quite a bit by floor plan and price point. Entry-level setups usually include a single LP burner and a small counter. Higher-end floor plans add a sink with running water, a refrigerator or cooler drawer, a griddle or outdoor bbq, and enclosed storage. Always check the floor plan spec sheet, since builders use the term loosely.

Can I use the outdoor kitchen at any campsite?

Usually yes, but not always. Some exterior kitchens sit on or near a slide-out, which means the slide has to be fully deployed before you can reach the counter or burner. If you camp where you can't extend your slides, look specifically for a fixed-compartment outside kitchen that works regardless of slide position.

Do fifth wheels with an outdoor kitchen cost significantly more?

The outdoor kitchen is rarely a standalone upgrade. It tends to come on larger, more feature-rich floor plans that are already priced at the higher end of the market. If it's the main thing drawing you to a floor plan, compare a few options so you're not paying for extra length and features you don't need just to get it.
