  • A Video Buyer’s Guide for Travel Trailers with Rear Kitchens

    We’ve seen a lot of interesting trends coming to the RV space over the next few months, including some floor plans designed to make the most of the interior space. One of those trends happens to be an increasing number of travel trailers with rear kitchens, which come with a number of nice benefits. For instance, by moving the kitchen to the back of the rig, you’ll often get more counter and storage space, not to mention a large rear window for plenty of natural light. And since the kitchen plays a central role in our enjoyment at the campsite, having an open and productive space is a big bonus. 

    There are an increasing number of travel trailers with rear kitchens available these days, giving buyers plenty of options to choose from. But the video above shares some of the best options currently available in a small form factor. These lightweight and compact towables make good use of the available floor space, with some surprisingly roomy galleys that make meal prep enjoyable and easy. In other words, they’re exactly what aspiring camp chefs are looking for.

    The towables in the video include the Keystone Coleman Light 21RX, the Keystone Coleman Legacy 2115RK, the Forest River Campsite Reserve 23BM, the Keystone Springdale Villa 281RK, and the Forest River Salem 27RK. As you’ll see, each brings something a little different to the table, giving would-be buyers several options to choose from, at price points that are affordable and approachable. 

    Of course, these aren’t the only travel trailers with rear kitchens available. A little research and shopping on the major RV manufacturers’ websites will reveal plenty more. We’re especially partial to the Winnebago Thrive 24RKS and the Jayco Jay Feather 23RK, but there are plenty of others to choose from as well. As always, finding the right rig to meet your needs is the most important factor when purchasing an RV. That said, the video above is certainly a good place to start. Hit play to see what’s possible with these rear-kitchen floor plans.

  • Yeti Rambler Insulated Bowls are a Must-Have for the RV

    Yeti may best be known for its rugged, overbuilt coolers that keep food fresh and drinks cold for days, but for many customers it is the company’s other products that have made them a household name. The brand’s drinkware, backpacks, gear boxes, and other accessories have become staples in kitchens, cabins, and campsites across the country. Now, there is a new addition that will expand that reputation and legacy even further, as the Yeti Rambler insulated bowls join the lineup.

    The Yeti Rambler Line of Bowls

    Made from 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel, the Rambler bowls are as durable and rugged as you would expect from Yeti. This makes them dishwasher safe and resistant to rust and punctures. Sadly, but understandably, they aren’t microwave safe, so keep that in mind when using them around the kitchen.

    The bowls are available in 1-quart (30 oz), 2-quart (64 oz), and 4.5-quart (139 oz) sizes, and are neatly stackable—and nestable—inside one another. This makes them very easy to store on a shelf at home or in a cupboard in an RV, without fear that they may break in transit. All sizes also include an easy-to-seal lid, which adds further convenience.

    As with some other Yeti products—including its coolers and tumblers—the Rambler bowls utilize double-walled vacuum sealed insulation to keep their contents warm or cold as needed. That construction technique also makes them safe to touch, even when filled with very warm foods like hot soup or oatmeal.

    Durable and Versatile

    We’ve been using the Yeti Rambler insulated bowls around the house for the past few weeks, and they have quickly become a go-to option for a wide variety of uses. The 1-quart size is perfect for breakfast cereal, fresh fruit, or a salad, while the 2- and 4.5-quart sizes make great serving bowls for a wide variety of foods. Thanks to their included lids, all three have spent time in the fridge as storage containers, too.

    In hand, the bowls feel substantial to the touch, with Yeti’s trademark build quality on display. In most cases, this is a good thing, although the smaller 1-quart model can feel overly heavy when you just want to enjoy a bowl of Rice Krispies in the morning. That could make these a bit of overkill for use around the house, but while camping, it’s an asset. You won’t have to worry about breaking these bowls at the campsite, as they’ll obviously survive just about any abuse you can throw at them.

    The Rambler bowls are available in two core colors—navy blue and white—as well as two seasonal colors, which currently include taupe and papaya, which is a fancy way of saying orange. The colors are added to the outside of the container using a powder-coated finish that won’t come off in the dishwasher, but the inside of the bowls isn’t colored and is simply plain stainless steel. That helps make them very easy to clean up, as very few things actually stick to the surface. Whether washing them by hand or putting them in the dishwasher, they always come out clean and looking brand new.
