moving up

[steve mcconnell]

currently have a 22rbpr and am looking to move up to a couples 5th wheel, the problem is I cant find a model with an outdoor kitchen that is not a bunk house, appreciate any suggestions, may end up staying with TT

Try doing a Google search - type in "5th wheel with outdoor kitchen" and see what comes up for you. There may be some non-Keystone models available with those features.

Check out the Laredo 325rl, looks nice.

Many of the newer 5th wheel models (with "couples floorplans") also have 1-2 curb-side slide out's... and as a result, there's very little space for an
outdoor kitchen. Found only "1" in the current Keystone line-up.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Terri but that model is a little bit bigger than I wanted to go up to. Up here in Ontario the Provincial Parks are a little on the small side. I think I may have to sacrifice the kitchen, very much like the Cougar 28sgs.

I'd look for a drop frame in the front, it creates a huge basement storage. More than enough room to add a camp chef in a storage bag along with a few other items like folding tables to set up your own outside kitchen.

[steve mcconnell]

good idea, something to consider

[bsmith0404]

That's what I do, I also use one of the propane tanks in the camper for the camp chef. When I set up my outdoor kitchen, I just pull the tank that way don't have to carry another one with me. I used to carry a 20 lb bottle in a milk crate in the truck bed, but realized I seldom filled the RV tanks so why bother bringing another. I also set up a dishwashing station near the outside shower. I have a spray nozzle instead of a shower head on the hose.

With the drop frame, I can stand the large 6' folding tables from Walmart on their side and I strap them to the front wall of the basement storage.
