It's interesting to see the different ideas and uses or lack of need for some of the different pieces of an outdoor kitchen. DW and I considered the outdoor kitchen, but being near/at retirement age and considering we are routinely traveling and do not have the grandkids RV'ing with us, we decided not to consider models with outside kitchens. Contrary to several who have expressed their thoughts, I have on several occasions taken the bedroom TV outside to watch sports programs while DW is watching Dancing with the Stars or something else that I have 0 interest in. On several occasions, I've grabbed a small 110V refer and thrown in the basement for extra capacity and particularly when the grandkids are RV'ing with us. Weight is minimal, maybe 25-30 pounds with drinks for the kids and it keeps the inside refer door closed more.
Cooking wise, if its sunny, I grab the grill from the front basement and grill. If its raining and warm, I put the awning down and grab the grill. We live in the great Northwest which equates to many cooler, rainy days when we are out RV'ing. This all means that, as previously eluded to, its nice to set indoors, with the umteenth cup of jo, setting in the recliner, starring out the large picture window and watch the world go by.
It seems like outdoor kitchens are more for those those with kids who are RV'ing in warm sunny weather, which, we don't always have that luxuary; and as well, the older we get, the easier it is to pull somewhere, put out the slides, get another cup of jo and set there looking out the window from the recliner.
