Low pressure grill suggestion
For the past 3 years my wife and I have used the Camco Olympian 5500. We found one at Camping World on sale and we've not regretted that decision.
It is compact and folds neatly for storage. This grill is setup for low pressure (we have an external propane connection on the 270s). This grill heats up quickly, in fact you don't want to turn this on to the 'high' setting and walk away :-) as it will get very hot!

The RV connection hose supplied by Camp Chef is not compatible with the Mountain Series stoves (only the big monsters). I placed an e-mail to Camp Chef today to ask if there's a workaround for this.

Bought the wife a Blackstone 17”. She was skeptical, I seasoned it in for her and she loves it, especially since I hooked it into the camper. She was even cooking corn on the cob on it the other night.

X2. I considered for maybe 2 seconds to convert to a low pressure quick disconnect and opted for a separate tank and hose. I did not want to be tethered to my TT and wanted to use my Q on my condo balcony. The low pressure conversion would not allow me to use my Q unless I was within a cords length from my TT. I was a little hesitant of the heat output, but after my first use, definitely NOT a problem.

I got from Amazon... easy, my wife did it.
Weber Q Quick Disconnect Conversion Kit
After screwing in all you have is quick disconnects to make it either stock or low pressure.
It makes it low pressure for RV connection and also puts a QD on regulator side so you can quickly reconnect the OEM regulator to make it small tank or large tank compatible again.
With the low pressure disconnect I hook to my RV with it set on a folding table... If I want to get farther away, I have a long quick disconnect hose to move it in the camp.

I have one of these mounted on the swing arm grill mount on my Vibe. Great grill, I really like the Tru-Infrared grills from Char-Broil. I also converted it to hookup to the campers propane quick disconnect line.

We use a Weber Q. Works well. I prefer steaks prepared over flame as opposed to the griddle method. We are only cooking for 2-4 people at most. We have an electric skillet if we need bacon, and it has a lid. No wind effecting performance or grease everywhere.
Choose what you like, and remember you get what you pay for. For me I always get stainless steel burners.

I forgot to mention when I gave my endorsement of the Weber Q that we also bought the griddle for it. It covers one side of the grill. We use it for everything from grilling veggies to frying eggs, cooking bacon and I've even made pancakes on it. Cleanup is really easy too. We toss the aluminum drip pans and when we get home, the grill gets a thorough cleaning by putting the grates in the dishwasher and the inside of the grill itself gets a spray de-greaser cleaning followed by a good hosing out. 15 minutes tops to do all that. It's looks brand new every time we take it with us. I wouldn't buy anything else.

I use a pellet smoker for grilling, have been for years. I just dont like the way Propane grills cook. Plus, with my pellet smoker I can smoke a brisket or pork butt all night long. Had an RVQ on my 02 trailer, I really liked that little sucker. It ran off the onboard propane connector. I like the newer models but have not seen what they have currently. And now, pellet smokers are under the same fire restriction regulations as Propane grills.

I have a less expensive Nexgrill from Costco. Just put in a plastic bin with my vintage Coleman Propane Stove.
Now if you really want to cook you need a Green Mountain Grills Pellet stove. This is the only way to cook at camp. Put a 10 lb pork roast on for 8 hours and yummy vegetarian fed Pork on my Fork!

Thank You all for the replies. I have used a grill for years. I think I'm going to try a griddle and decided on the Blackstone.

17” Blackstone has served us well. A little more flexable than a grill. Everyone from burgers to hash browns on the griddle.

Still using the RVQ that came with our 2012 5er. Have a brand new one in the garage if the original ever gives out. We use it about 3 months a year in the winter in FL.

I just bought a Traeger Scout wood pellet Grill with a griddle to carry in my new 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun 260DSF.Have a larger one at my house and a big Webber that I haven't used since I bought the Traeger 2 years ago. I'll carry Hickory, mesquite, apple, pecan pellets from home and a mix from Ace Hardware. I plan on cooking Bacon, eggs and pancakes on the griddle next week with a wood fire odor wafting through through the camp to attract my 5 grand kids to breakfast.

I have been using a Weber Q series grill for a few years now. Small, light, easy to use and clean. Steaks, fish, veggies, whatever, everything cooks great on the grill and since it’s just my wife and I it is more than enough grill for us. The folding base mount is small and light and the grill hooks right up to my propane bottles. Plus you get the Weber support to keep it going.

Coleman Road trip. Had ours probably 8 or 9 years now. The inside is chrome plated and the grills double as griddle and are porcelin plated. Ours folds, has wheels, and two side pull out shelves. A roller bag is an accessory we use.
Cleaning takes multiple rinsing and some scrubbing but it drains well and our chrome is almost unblemished and the griddles are brand new looking.
Two burners. Uses disposable propane bottles and comes with a decent regulator which is probably proprietary to the particular burners
I think ours was about $120 at camping world on sale.
