  • Galley Counter Top Space

    Posted by Archived on January 7, 2017 at 8:06 am

    All,

    My wife likes to cook and she has mentioned more than once the lack/small counter space in Prevost’s for preparing meals. For the people that like to prepare meals do you find the counter tops in Prevost’s inadequate for cooking?

    All comments are welcomed and appreciated.

    Reese,

    We had a 2000 CC XLV and it had a huge amount of counter space, all depends on the converter and layout of the interior. It’s kind of give and take and a balance of usable space.

    placed on a useful galley.

    I like to eat and my wife likes to cook. Perfect combination. She does sometime have to shuffle pots and pans around to make it work but for the most part, she is happy. Especially, since she has an induction cooktop.

    One thing that does help tremendously is having covers for the sink because that expands the available countertop space by quite a bit.

    Here is our galley.

    PS: The water bottles are just decoration.

    🙂

    My experience has been that everything tastes better when served when that brand of water bottle.

    The amount of kitchen counter space in most coaches I’ve looked at is a far cry from what I’m used to at home. The double basin sink has a small side and a large side, but only the small section has a cover. Fortunately the small section is closest to the stovetop, so that with the cover in place, I manage to have somewhat adequate counter space for food prep. The stove only has two burners, but there’s another spot across the aisle where I can use a plug-in single burner, or electric fry pan, crock pot, etc. When we are in the bus, I tend to cook more one-pot or two-pot meals. The food prep is kind of like… chop up the onion, put it in a bowl, put the onion away. Chop up the peppers, put them in a bowl, put the rest away. Measure out the pasta and set it aside. And so forth. Then get out the pans and start putting things together. Each task tends to get done individually because of the lack of counter space.

    I do miss having an oven…a real oven, not the microwave/convection thing. When we’re away from home, there’s no baking going on.

    Reese I think it is most all motor homes of any type have less counter space. My tiffin has a large a large pullout counter (basically all of the drawers on the end of the cabinets). Is is nice and usable, but still a far cry from what we are used to it at home. We try to keep things out away to have full use of what counter space we have. We are preparing for a little less with the Prevost we choose, but only because it doesn’t have that pull out. I have seen some nicely laid out kitchens with more space then we chose. The liberty elegant lady’s seem to have a couple layouts with a extra cabinet toward the entry door

    also – if I get enlisted to help I will prep stuff on the table which is just opposite the kitchen counter. No problem.
