We just went away in our new preloved Cavalier which has a drifta kitchen for the first time. While at Lightening Ridge we saw a Kimberley Kamper with a stainless steel kitchen and was I very envious at first. Then on reflection I decided that it would depend on how much you cooked, how messy you are and how often and long you go away for to balance up the 5 times greater cost. But it mostly pays to pander to the other half when possible ROFL SWMBO

Have got the drifta on our Trackabout used every day last year on a 4 month trip to WA. Plus other trips to Fraser.Worked a treat. Adding the extra drawer which I got from Drifta made it even better.
I carried in top drawer all cutlery sharp knife gas lighter tongs cooking spoons, level for setting up spare keys for trailer .
Second drawer plates for 8people, desert /breakfast plates. A couple of enamel plates for putting hot food on when cooking. In the corners I kept in each corner 4 glass scotch glasses. Which haven't broken on any trip we have had it on.
3rd area down kept a spare plastic bowel from drifta which I kept in an original cardboard box 4 ceramic coffee cups and 2 wine glasses.
In the bowl for washing up I kept all that type of gear from clothes detergent, washing up detergent, clothes lines, pegs. Under this I kept 2 non stick fry pans sitting in each other with the non slip matting between the two plus the toaster and 2 cutting boards.
The other space was reserved for 3 stainless steel billys which fit in each other and then fit in a black enamel fire pot which can be used on fire or stove - always kept in plastic to stop fire black on enerything, a stainless steel pot with steamer. Plus the grater.
We put the non stick matting on every shelf .
We had very if any dirt enter the area once the shelf fitted on the front.
Once opened out space to work on and prepare so you dont have to have a table if you dont want.
So I fully endorse the drifta.

Have got a KK and the kitchen is stainless but it doesn't matter what surface you have as long as it does the job and is funtional. But having said that, depending on price ( as always ) stainless is better, water doesn't affect it and most importantly the missus usually likes it better ( and isn't that why you get out into bush in the 1st place )

HI Friar,

All i can say is to pick the one that seals the best to keep the dust/bugs out. You or the better half will not want to keep washing everything before you can use it. We have a koala camper with a timber kitchen. It is great, however the doors and drawers all seal well so when we are set up in camp everything is out of the way and not dusty.
