No experience with Q grill but use the Weber Go-Anywhere gas grill. Fits easily in the front storage area of the RP 179. It uses the 1lb propane bottle but can be converted to use the quick connect on trailer. It does not have a huge cooking area but more than adequate for 2-3 people. Plenty of heat to cook steaks. We have used it for over three years and it is durable and well built. I even put through our dishwasher once after cleaning it manually beforehand. This little grill is not as fancy as some of the more expensive ones but has served us well and just keeps cooking. Hug]]> Tue, 02 May 2017 22:00:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92517#92517 Any experience with Camco grills? : Thanks!

Thanks! Adapters worked great, although pulling apart the stock regulator assembly was much tougher than the instructions implied--even with vice grips. Once that part was done, it was a matter of 3 minutes to screw in the new fitting, put back on the grill, and connect to the R-Pod using the provided hose. Tested it out briefly last night and got a good flame. Need to check for leaks later today.

Agree that smokey (and smelly) stuff is all going to get cooked outside from now on. We burned a pan of onions on a previous camping trip, and I swear I can still smell it inside.

Congrats on your grill.  Let us know if the adapters work.  Also we just ordered a griddle top for it so we can cook bacon, eggs, pancakes, etc right on the grill.  You just swap out one of the grills for the exact same size griddle (you need to buy two if you want to convert the entire grill to a griddle top).  After reading that cooking inside sets off the smoke dectector we will try to cook the smokey stuff outside on the Coleman Grill]]> Tue, 02 May 2017 11:32:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92462#92462 Any experience with Camco grills? : To close the loop on my own question:... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92441#92441 Author: TylerK9

To close the loop on my own question: I wound up taking a chance on the Coleman Roadtrip LXX because it is on sale at Amazon right now. I also ordered a low-pressure conversion kit from propanegear.com for $50 that included the adapter and a hose. Plus I bought another regulator assembly so I could easily swap between using the onboard 20# propane tank and the small canisters. Haven't cooked anything yet except the inside of the unit to burn off the oil, but will report back after I do. ]]> Tue, 02 May 2017 08:26:32 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92441#92441 Any experience with Camco grills? : I have not tried specific brand... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92437#92437 Author: Martinmyer

Does anyone have an 0-grill?  I'm looking for something that will fit into the 179 storage underneath. ]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2017 05:42:36 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92175#92175 Any experience with Camco grills? : +1 love our Weber Q!! https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92169#92169 Author: Leo B

I am a Weber Q fan. Great, durable grills. I have the CAMCO adapter that allows me to direct connect to the Pod propane tank, not removing anything from the grill, and also gives me option to use Aux tank to run everything. I have the Weber cart, I carry in pick-up bed to mount grill on, I can move it 12' from the tank, either side of Pod.]]> Thu, 27 Apr 2017 18:41:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92163#92163 Any experience with Camco grills? : We just got the grill and decided... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92162#92162 Author: Richand Cindy

We just got the grill and decided to use the 1 lb canisters.  If it turns out to be too much effort and too expensive we would then switch to the quick connect.  Nice to know we have the option to remove the regulator on the grill and add quick connect components

No experience with the Camco.

I bought this last year and have been pleased with it:
Coleman Grill/Stove

It's pretty stingy with propane and it easily fits into the storage compartment doors. It comes set up for the one pound bottles but, can be adapted to the 20lbs tanks. I prefer the one pounders. It gives a lot of flexibility in cooking location and I use them in my lantern, also. A griddle plate can be purchased, as an option.]]> Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:47:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9824&PID=92161#92161 Any experience with Camco grills? : Thanks, R&C.

We decided to go with the Coleman Roadtrip LXX 22,000 BTU.  It is on sale at Walmart for $127 free shippping.  However it takes 1lb propane tanks.  People on this board mentioned it and have purchased the correct tubing and connections so that it can be hooked up directly to the RPOD quick connect but it costs around $35)  We bought it and found out that it is excellent (gets very hot at 22K BTU) has two pull out slides but VERY heavy and it is too fat to fit in the RPOD underbelly.  We have to keep it in the SUV.  We like it because it has a built in stand that folds and you can roll it like a suitcase.  This way we do not have to drill holes in the RPOD or use up half of the picnic table (if the campground even has one) for a table top grill.  And in a windy day roll it downside from the wind, so no smoke in our faces.

Thinking about getting this grill before our next adventure in 2 weeks.

Anyone have any experience with it? Especially with the quick-connect valve on the new R-Pods? 

Also interested if anyone has installed a grill mounting rail on their R-Pod. I'm not crazy about the idea of drilling holes into the side of our "rolling home-away-from-home," so will probably not use a mounting rail.
