For an outdoor kitchen.. I do not know if it is REI or CW or Both but someone perhaps Coleman, makes a collapsible outdoor kitchen.. You might wish to check it out. Here is a page from the Camping world web site.

Just put a deposit down on a Kodiak 285 BHSL. Other than lacking an outdoor kitchen, it has everything we want.

The problem with those is they claim to cool 40 degrees below ambient, which means on a 90 degree day my beer would be 50 degrees. I use a cooler full of ice instead.
For what it's worth, ours seems to stay pretty cold. When temps get that hot, we keep it inside the camper (for extra refrigeration). Seems to always be around 35-40 degrees in any weather. keep it in the shade outside too. Mine works pretty good. No complaints. But, if "ice" is your choice ... well ... like I've always said, there are no "rights" or "wrongs" when it comes to camping. We all just do it "different."

The outdoor kitchens I've seen use a dorm style 120v fridge rather than an absorption type unit, so it only cools when plugged in to shore power.
I've noticed lots of folks using dorm type fridges, ice machines, whatever they need, in CGs with available shore power. They use a cheap folding 6' table to set things on.

Congrats!
FYI, we use electric griddles and an electric skillet for food preparation on the picnic table. Been doing it this way since tent camping days. We very seldom fix meals inside the camper, unless its raining wild or below freezing temperatures. Our current camper has an outside stove. But we prefer the electric griddles.
And about that outside refrigerator. We've had one of these since our pop-up days when it came with an ice box and not a refrigerator. I removed the ice box and turned it into storage, and used one of these for refrigeration. The first on we purchased lasted 15 years. We now have one like this, 2 years old. Keep it on it's back and use for a cooler rather than a refrigerator. We can get more in it that way. Keep it plug in 24x7 and loaded with soft drinks all the time. Easy to move outside the camper, or take with us when traveling: Click here. No ice needed, works great, and no mess with water to dump as ice melts. Nothing gest wet. On back, is a cooler. On end, it's a refrigerator. One of the best "gadgets" we ever bought for camping.
