just tested this mod...

[RPAspey]

I got to thinking about a thread a few weeks ago about a bumper mount for a grill. Why not make one that folds away, easy to set up, and would be level with the camper. so here is what I came up with. the whole thing folds on itself, once i remove the grill and base. It stores on the hitch, but facing inwards. the grill and base, as well as the stem all stores in a plastic box inside a storage area. anyway, it only cost me about $10 excluding the hitch bumper adapter which I already had.

Nice job. Which I had a friend that had a welder.

I like it.

Now you can plumb into the trailers LP line with a quick disconnect and won't need the mini tank.

That neat. If I'm not @ a racetrack, I could use the flagpole holder brkt on my TT in a similiar fashion. I may have to work on something like that for next year (chop saw is out on loan).

I couldn't find 1 listed on the 'net, but I found a 25' hose w/ male & female 1"-20 threaded connections. Allows me to move the portable BBQ I use, under the under awning if the weather isn't good.

[Mr. Black]

I am not sure who makes the hose but our Sierra came with a grill, rack, and quick disconnect hose assembly. It is mounted in an area under the awning. The propane fitting is behind the right rear wheel.

I like the OPs grill though. I would like to find that grill and make it work with our rack.

Mr. Black, your's is probably a RVQ, that in doing some research is a low pressure grill. Low pressure in that it sources the propane after the regulator. I had 1 that came w/ my Jayco popup.

If the grill (BBQ in Canada) is teed off the tank (before the regulator) w/ a Stay-A-While or a separate bottle, it's a high pressure unit that has it's own regulator.

[Mr. Black]

Good call. Didn't think about that and I should have.

[revrnd]

No problem. Can still be hooked up to the trailer's propane, just a little differently.

A 2 beer walk?

[revrnd]

RP, it's kind of hard to tell from the pic, but does the upright piece of pipe rest on the ground or not?

[The_Stuff]

it doesn't touch the ground. It does adjust for different elevations. Also, the arm that pivots can be quickly placed below the "out rigger" arm and even flipped upside down to lower the grill even more. It proves to be handy as sometimes our choice of camp sites may be a field with a head up or head down orientation.

I used threaded pipe so I can swivel the grill ass needed then to stow away, I unscrew it from the base and place it into the storage bin.
