Cooking Outdoors Is More Popular Then Ever
January 11th, 2010 Posted in Camping
The latest thing in home improvement these days seem to be many families taking traditional indoor activities and moving them outdoors. The growing popularity of outdoor kitchens is just one example. With people adding outdoor living spaces more and more, the most popular addition by far has been the outdoor kitchen.
RV people and campers have been doing this for years. If you have ever cooked over an open fire then you know that food just seems to taste better when prepared and eaten outdoors. There is nothing better than the smell of eggs and bacon and hot coffee in the early morning. As a former Boy Scout, it was even better when a few ashes got in the food. I’m just saying. However, many have never experienced the joy of preparing and eating an outdoor feast with or with out the ashes of an open fire.
Well the folks at Keystone RVs have gone one better by offering an option of a complete outdoor kitchen on many of their travel trailer and fifth wheel models. It is called the “Tailgator Package.” What makes this feature so neat is it has a complete kitchen including a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator and two-burner cook top. With solid surface countertops for easy preparation and cleaning, there are also large drawers and plenty of built-in cabinets. The cook top swings out to the side with an LP gas connection that plugs directly into the trailers LP system for ease of use. The refrigerator is large enough to accommodate all your cold storage food as well any beverages you care to include. This simple system is designed to make food prep as easy and efficient as cooking at home.
I know some may be thinking that when it rains the outdoor kitchen is useless. Well, Keystone has got you covered there too, literally. Each Tailgator Package packs up neat and tight and is enclosed with an exterior door that is raised and lowered by hydraulic supports. That means that not only will you be able to stabilize the door when it is open in the wind but will also keep the rain off while you are cooking. There is plenty of room under the shelter of the door for two or more people to stand and prepare food so no one will feel crowded. This feature is not just in high line RVs but is even found in lesser priced Keystone RV models.
The reason Keystone goes to such lengths for the regular RV enthusiast is their desire to make camping as easy as possible for everyone to enjoy. Keystone RV is the number one selling RV in the country and this is just one of the reasons why. Check one out at your local Keystone RV dealer today. You will be impressed.
