The Heart of the Home: Kitchen Island RVs & Fifth Wheels

Why Choose a Kitchen Island Floorplan?

Adding an island to the center of your RV's kitchen completely changes the flow and functionality of your living space. Here is why this floorplan is a favorite among full-timers and frequent entertainers:

Unmatched Prep Space & Deep Storage

A central island instantly doubles your available countertop space. You finally have room to set up a coffee bar, use a slow cooker, and chop vegetables all at once. Plus, the base of the island provides incredibly deep storage drawers for large pots, pans, and heavy dishware that standard cabinets simply cannot hold.

The Ultimate Entertaining Hub

A kitchen island opens up the floorplan, creating a natural flow between the cooking area and the living room. Many of our island models feature an extended countertop overhang with integrated barstool seating. This allows guests to sit, sip a drink, and chat with the chef without getting in the way of meal prep.

Double-Basin Farmhouse Sinks

By moving the sink off the wall and into the island, RV manufacturers can install massive, residential-style, deep-basin farmhouse sinks paired with high-rise, pull-down faucets. Washing large dishes or even giving the family dog a quick bath has never been easier.

Jayco: Built for Family Feasts

Jayco’s luxury fifth wheels and premium travel trailers are famous for their robust construction and stunning interior design. You will frequently find breathtaking island layouts in the Eagle, North Point, and Pinnacle series.

• Solid-Surface Countertops: Jayco utilizes heavy-duty, seamless solid-surface countertops on their islands. They are heat-resistant, incredibly durable, and wipe down effortlessly.

• Smart Power Placement: Jayco intelligently integrates pop-up 110V outlets and USB charging ports directly into their islands, so you can easily plug in blenders, mixers, or laptops without tripping over cords.

• Residential Refrigeration: Jayco pairs their massive islands with oversized, 12V or residential French-door refrigerators, ensuring you have plenty of food storage to match your increased prep space.

Grand Design: Thoughtful Culinary Luxury

Grand Design excels at wide-open concept living. Their kitchen islands in the Reflection, Solitude, and larger Imagine lines are masterclasses in functional elegance.

• The "Hidden" Details: Grand Design is famous for utilizing every square inch of space. Look for islands that feature hidden slide-out trash cans, built-in pet dish drawers at the base, and dedicated storage racks for sink covers.

• Contrasting Cabinetry: Grand Design often finishes their kitchen islands in a contrasting wood or accent color compared to the rest of the kitchen, giving the RV a highly customized, modern residential aesthetic.

• Pantry Proximity: Grand Design perfectly positions their islands directly adjacent to massive, walk-in pantries with motion-sensor lighting, making meal prep incredibly efficient.

Travel Trailers vs. Fifth Wheels

While kitchen islands were historically reserved exclusively for massive fifth wheels (due to their wider bodies and higher ceilings), modern engineering has changed the game.

Today, we carry several wide-stance travel trailers that feature beautiful, fully functional kitchen islands. This means you can enjoy residential luxury without needing to upgrade your tow vehicle to a heavy-duty dually truck.
