RVQ Grills

[topcat7736]

I haven't seen anyone mention these, (although there's probably a hundred posts about them), and just thought I'd see if anyone has used one.

We have the low pressure stove inside which can also go outside. There's a low pressure fitting on the side of the trailer which would enable us to connect up the grill without any modifications. It would emiminate carrying the small propane tanks or an adapter hose, etc. to do grilling.

Any thoughts?

RVQ LOW PRESSURE GRILL

[Gone-Camping]

I got an RVQ with my new Hybrid, and used it only twice! Watching the burgers do a flame-up only inches from my brand new trailer really had me thinking hard about this grill. Then I noticed all the smoke collecting under the awning, and what smoke wasn't under the awning was escaping into the dinette window!
 
The second time I used it, I found something a little less prone to flame up, but still had smoke issues, and lots of heat only inches from my fiberglass skinned trailer. After I got home from that trip, I clean the grill thouroughly and stored it in the garage, where it will stay for the remainder of the time I own this trailer. I throw it in as a selling point when the time comes.
 
Oh, I forgot to mention the part about washing the grease splatter off the side of my trailer, and for me it was fairly easy. I wouldn't want to even think about having tent material there soaking up the grease splatter! I'm going to stick to my little charcoal grill which can be placed well away from the trailer, and my little Coleman grill-n-griddle which with a little modification could also utilize that same outside propane outlet!

Actually I believe if it uses the little green bottles, It will require a high pressure outlet. The little bottles are the same pressure as your big 20 lb. one.

I have one of those RVQ's too, goes everywhere we go camping, but I never took it out of the bag yet.  Food tastes way to good cooked over a wood fire for me to fire up that thing.  If I want to cook on a gas grill I can do that at home.  It is nice to have  though incase we ever camp at one of those "no fires allowed campgrounds" or the ones that charge $5 per stick of fire wood.

If you ever find yourself up in our neck of the woods, let met know, I will hopefully have a never used RVQ for sale!

Not sure where your neck of the woods are but if you are getting rid of it give me an email or reply.  We are picking up new trailer in a few weeks and the dealer wants a ridiculous price for one. I've been going back and forth about whether we want one.  The storage configuration for the new trailer is going to make it difficult to have a bunch of loose "Stuff" (separate BBQ) vs. RVQ attached to the existing bracket.  Decisions Decisions.

At $180 including shipping it's a little rich for my blood. My $25 Sunbeam does the same exact thing for me.

I can understand wanting to use the existing low pressure port, but like the others have said, a stove next to the canvas is one thing, a barbeque grill with it's implied smoke and grease spatters is another.

I skipped the RVQ for many of the reasons already mentioned, the cash in my pocket was nice and after two years of my cheapo unit its about time for the trash heap, but at $20 I can buy a bunch of them before I'd spend as much on the RVQ.  There are times I wish I did have an outdoor burner though, should have kept the stove from my Niagara!

Those little bottles are considered low pressure. The 20 lb tanks are high pressure.
