Travel Trailer Kitchen Essentials
Cooking in a travel trailer has a unique set of challenges, but with the right accessories and tools, you can create incredible meals for the whole family. Our team at Click-It RV - Tri-Cities has put together a list of kitchen essentials you need for a well-stocked travel trailer.
1. Lightweight Dishware
It’s not necessary to buy a brand new set of dishes just for your travel trailer, but it could be worthwhile. Having a lightweight and durable set of dishware will make meal time much more efficient; plus, they won’t weigh down your cabinets as much.
Plates, bowls, and cups will be popular for every meal, so make sure to buy a good-sized set!
2. Storage
Kitchen storage is especially important when you’re operating in a small space. Having easy-to-access storage containers can minimize clutter and optimize your space! You can look for collapsible containers or stackable options to make travel even easier.
3. Under Cabinet Lighting
Travel trailers aren’t always the best for natural lighting, so adding more lights to your space can be a big help. Under cabinet lights are great for elevating your space and helping bring more light to your countertops. You can find rechargeable light bars and adhesive lighting that can be easily installed under the cabinets.
You can take this a step further by adding similar lighting in the cabinets; you can even look for motion-sensing options!
4. Over-Sink Cutting Board
There isn’t always a lot of counter space to work with in a travel trailer, so using an over-sink cutting board can help add space and make cleanup a lot easier. Multi-purpose items like this are ideal because you can optimize your area without needing more pieces!
5. Shelving
You have to be crafty when it comes to adding shelving, but it is possible! Wire shelving can be the perfect addition for your cabinets, giving you additional space for dishware and cooking supplies. Plus, they’re light enough and built to be a temporary fixture, making them perfect for quick tear down.
You can also add shelving to the walls, just be sure to check for studs and avoid placing any heavy items. Also be mindful that the items you place will likely need to be removed before you travel.
6. Pull-Out Drawers
Some travel trailer kitchens have deep cabinets, which is great for storing larger cooking supplies, but can also cause wasted space. Installing pull-out drawers in deep cabinets can help you utilize more area and create a more user-friendly space.
