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.
