I haven't got one but we did seriously consider one. In the end we decided against it because the position of the wardrobe made the van feel very cramped to us and the front seats were slightly too short to use as singles.

I think if they'd managed to squeeze the wardrobe into the washroom we'd have bought it like a shot as the kitchen area was excellent

One fault with a middle kitchen is, if some one is at it then it is hard for another to pass.

My mum and my sis both have end kitchens... but I find them rather poky! I have a kitchen to one side at the end (I have a funny layout with a door in the back though). Yes, it can be difficult if people are coming past you continuously - so just tell them either to sit down inside and stay there, or stay outside until the meal is cooked!
