What's the best BBQ to mount on the roo 233s

Hey everyone. Getting excited for our first full camping season and looking for the best mountable BBQ for our Roo! Anyone have any ideas? Looking at the Camco 5500!

Are you set on mountable grills? If not, there are some better (performance-wise) grills that you can easily modify to use low pressure LP outlet. For a variety of reasons, I'm not a fan of the RVQ that came with my 233s or of the similar unit that came with our old popup.

Two of the popular portable grills are the Weber Q and the Coleman Roadtrip. I have the latter connected to a 10' extension gas line that attaches to the LP quick release connection.

Ok thanks for info

Haven't used either yet so just trying to figure out what's best! I kinda like the idea of mounting it to the trailer but not sure if that's best!

I've had the Weber Q200 for several years now... Yes it's pricier then most but it's very well made and will probably outlast me. As mentioned above, it can be converted to run on your RV's propane system by purchasing a kit to convert it to low pressure. It also stores perfectly in the bath tub of my 21DK so I don't need to worry about it bouncing around while we're on the road.

I'm not a big fan of mounting a grill to the RV since the space under the awning is limited and can get cramped if you have more then a few people under it and you're trying to cook.

I like the flexibility of a free standing grill so I can move it where I want. I also use the weber for other things like tailgating or even at home if we're having a party and I need some additional grill space.

One thing is for sure and well documented here, the standard RVQ grills are poorly made and don't hold up or cook very well.

I also use the Weber Q which I converted. Simple switch out. It is stored on a wheeled cart to move out if the way when not in use. Original grill was junk. Own a Roo 23ss. Good luck with your purchase.

Blackstone grill. Not mountable. I got the 28" but the one that is a grill and bbq side by side looks interesting

One drawback of the mountable bar on the side of the campers... They are not meant to support a lot of weight. I don't know what factory (if known) weight limit is. This is one reason those grills are so lightweight. Cheap for the price, but there are better grills out there for about the same price, but they are heavier.
Just get a folding table or pony up for the stand that comes with some grills. Either use a 20# LP tank or if it is plumbed for quick connect use the camper gas. I think weight limit is our biggest drawback on wall mounted grill. As well as all the Fire Fighters among us are cringing at the thought of mounting fire on the wall of anything!

Putting a hot grill next to a plastic Styrofoam filled wall is asking for trouble IMHO. Get a portable stainless steel one and a folding table.

They are light and easy to clean.

Here is one for 60 bucks.

For a few bucks more, this is ALL stainless and 75 square inches more cooking surface (12 hamburgers) for 90 bucks.

I lover my Weber Q. Found it at a garage sale for $15.00.

I have the camco 6500 grill. Typically like $300, but I got it on amazon for $135. Had a big ole dent in it, but hammered it back out. It comes with the mount to go on your 233s and a short hose to connect to the rv connection. You can buy an add on regulator to use small 1lb canisters if you like.

The great thing about the 6500 is that it is all stainless, without the cast iron plate under the burner like the 5500. I really like it.

Ive had the Weber for 3-4 years and really like it. Has a collapsible stand that the bbq stays on and rolls in and out of my basement.However, I just bought a Green Mountain Dave Crockett smoker pellet grill to try out. Been using it at home and love it so far. I’m going to use it this summer.

I have a few friends that have been using the Davy Crockett’s in their 5ers and toy haulers. They love them so far. My only concern is the weight getting it in and out of the basement.
It cooks great for everything we’ve tried from tri-tip, steak to whole chicken, chicken breasts and wings and even bacon/eggs on our Weber griddle. It has a WiFi set up to monitor smoker and meat temperature that reads out on your phone.
We’re looking forward to the change of pace when camping and hanging out.

You can't go wrong with a Weber grill. I bought my first one in 2000 and found out the first time that I cooked on it that it was a serious cooking machine. I've had to replace the burners and the flavorizer bars and that's it. I've still got it and use it year round. I bought a Weber Q 180 IIRC with the cart for my camper and it cooks equally as well. No more burnt on the outside but raw in the middle chicken for me!

My son in law's got the Coleman and wishes that he had bought the Weber.

I totally agree. I have two of these. One for our pontoon boat and one for our RV.

You can get a low pressure kit if you want to run if off your low pressure LP lines.

I looked at the Weber Q. The domed lid is a PITA for storing since you can't put anything on top of it.

After 36 years of gas I bought the Weber Go Anywhere charcoal model for the rv.

Funny, I set the chimney up to light the charcoal and go get meat ready and collect the necessary support items.

Charcoal is ready to go.

Close the vents and it is cool very quickly.

Wife likes the taste of the food better.

Really no more trouble than gas. Heats up faster.

Huge fan of the Char-Broil infrareds. I have a big one at home and the portable one for the camper. The portable has come way down in price, can find for under $100 now.
