The Ultimate Campsite Upgrade: RVs with Outdoor Kitchens

Why Choose an Outdoor Kitchen Floorplan?

Outdoor kitchens are no longer just a luxury add-on; for many families, they are a dealbreaker. Here is why taking your culinary skills outside transforms your camping experience:

Keep the Heat and Odors Outside

Cooking heavy meals—especially frying bacon or searing fish—generates a lot of heat, steam, and lingering odors. Doing this inside your RV forces your air conditioner to work overtime and leaves your upholstery smelling like breakfast all day. An outdoor kitchen lets the breeze handle the ventilation, keeping your interior cool and fresh.

The "Mud-Free" Beverage Center

One of the most practical benefits of an outdoor kitchen is the exterior mini-fridge. Instead of kids and guests constantly opening the screen door and tracking dirt or sand through your RV just to grab a juice box or a cold beverage, everything they need is easily accessible right from the patio.

The Ultimate Entertaining Hub

Your patio awning is the center of your campsite. An outdoor kitchen keeps the chef right in the middle of the conversation. Whether you are hosting a campground potluck or watching the big game on an exterior TV, the outdoor kitchen serves as the perfect serving station and bar area.

Premium Outdoor Kitchens at Hiemstra Trailer Sales

Not all outdoor kitchens are created equal. As London's exclusive dealer for both Jayco and Grand Design, we offer setups that prioritize durable materials, high-output cooking, and smart storage.

Jayco: Rugged Durability and The JayPort System

Jayco understands that exterior kitchens are exposed to the elements, which is why they engineer their setups to outlast the competition. You’ll find incredible outdoor kitchens across the Jay Flight, White Hawk, and Eagle lineups.

• The JayPort™ System: Exclusive to Jayco, many models feature the innovative JayPort system—a secure, frame-mounted connection that allows you to easily attach a 17-inch or 22-inch Blackstone-style griddle directly to the side of the RV without taking up valuable table space.

• All-Metal Construction: Unlike cheaper brands that use wood or particle board in their exterior kitchens (which can swell and rot if exposed to rain), Jayco utilizes galvanized steel countertops and metal cabinetry for ultimate longevity.

• Quick-Connect Propane: Say goodbye to carrying extra green propane canisters. Jayco integrates LP quick-connect hoses directly below the kitchen, tapping right into your main dual propane tanks.

Grand Design: Smart Layouts and Premium Cooking

Grand Design treats their outdoor kitchens with the same level of luxury and thought as their interior kitchens. Their setups in the Imagine, Reflection, and Transcend lines are designed for the serious outdoor chef.

• Massive Pull-Out Griddles: Grand Design frequently replaces standard, low-output burners with heavy-duty, cast-iron pull-out griddles. These are perfect for cooking smash burgers, massive pancake breakfasts, and fajitas right at the campsite.

• Integrated Cleanup Stations: Cooking outside shouldn't mean doing dishes inside. Grand Design pairs their outdoor kitchens with deep basin sinks or convenient high-pressure spray ports, making cleanup a breeze.

• Strategic Awning Placement: Grand Design expertly designs their floorplans so that the outdoor kitchen is fully protected beneath massive, power patio awnings with integrated LED lighting. You can keep cooking comfortably, even if a light summer rain rolls in.

Find the Perfect Setup for Your Family

Depending on the size of the RV, outdoor kitchens come in a variety of configurations:

• The "Camp Kitchen": Typically found in smaller or bunkhouse models, featuring a pull-out griddle or 2-burner cooktop and a mini-fridge.

• The "Full Kitchen": Found in larger travel trailers and fifth wheels, featuring overhead cabinetry, a sink, a larger refrigerator, a griddle, and sometimes an exterior microwave or TV prep.
