BBQ bracket

mike.t · 03-02-2015, 02:29 PM

Has anyone installed a bracket on their travel trailer to hang a BBQ on?
Any help or videos would be appreciated.

Are you referring to the mounting rail, that let's you use a BBQ grill like the Sidekick, Olympian, or RVQ?

I installed a slide bracket for a rvq grill.
I don't have a pic but I can get one tonight.
I hung mine so the screws went into the floor of the rv.
pre drilled the holes thru the fiberglass side then filled the holes with silicone, put silicone on the screws and then siliconed around bracket.

Turbs did you use any sealant on that thing...... I'm awaiting pics I have the outside kitchen but don't trust the brackets holding it on they look a little sketchy as well as under engineer'd

I have the out side kitchen to.
I'll get you some pics this afternoon.

YES you must use plenty of silicone!
You do NOT want to get water in there otherwise the side could potentially delaminate.

WM. Yes. Ordered a sidekick. Looks like the 57268 is the most common. Don't know if it comes with one just trying to get prepared were heading out in 3 weeks.
Thanks

Wall mount I had to buy separate.

Also thinking of mounting it on the storage entry door.

Is yours in the kitchen slide area? Did I read somewhere that you used sealant

My o.k is not in a slide. I may have "dabbed" some sealant in the area of said mounting rail.

Make sure you use a backer inside the door for it. My 08 Flagstaff 831RLSS came loose from the wall the first time we used it and they had to go inside and put a backer board and longer screws. If you're going to put it on a door, you definitely will need the backer.

Bracket is seperate and you have to get the PROPER one! There are two styles for sidewall accessories like the Sidekick, and you need the K-style. Be sure to use Dacor butyl tape behind it and hit some framing! This is what you need and a great price for it:RVQ 902 - 14-6350 Grill Mounting Extrusion - Price: $8.19 - Factory RV Surplus - 1611 W Bristol St, Elkhart, IN 46514 (800) 325-1461 (574) 262-3327

Thanks Turbs! I just bought the bracket yesterday at CW and wondered if I'd get some tips here on mounting it.

TURBS · 03-02-2015, 04:18 PM

Biggest thing is hitting solid wood which is why I mounted it fairly low so I could hit the decking for the floor.

That makes sense. I have a Class C now that did not come with the rail. I likely won't hang a grill on it ,but I have a small, 16" table that has the same rail. I want to place that somewhere to hold my "guy stuff" outside....

mike.t · 03-02-2015, 04:23 PM

So i assume it is all low pressure gas after the regulator so i can tie in to the steel gas pipe somewhere so i can use the T/T propane?

Mine already had a line there for my o.k cooktop.

Did that with my last TT too! Fabricated up a nice BIG shelf out of aluminum with folding supports that hung off the bracket. Never used the grill at all - stayed boxed in the garage till we sold that TT.
