Let’s dive in!
What Is a Front Kitchen Fifth Wheel?
A front kitchen fifth wheel is a floorplan with the kitchen located in the front, upper level.
While most fifth wheels have the primary bedroom in the front, the front kitchen floorplan moves the bedroom to the rear and the living room mid-ship.
Pros of Front Kitchen Fifth Wheels
One of the main benefits of a front kitchen fifth wheel is having square footage designated to the kitchen. Having the kitchen in the upper space of the RV makes for a more private room with the ability to put cabinets and counters around three walls.
Some floorplans also have storage on the fourth wall or a counter with bar stools overlooking the living area.
Cons of Front Kitchen Fifth Wheels
A disadvantage of a front kitchen fifth wheel is that it will have a lower ceiling than if it was in the back section of the RV.
And you’ll need to walk downstairs to get to the living and dinette area. The stairs can be a hazard for carrying dishes up and down.
