Very nice. I made something similar on my last RV, a class C Jamboree. The mount attached to a section mounted inside the rear wheelwell, secured by two wingnuts. Worked well, and it was long enough to position my grille at least 12-14" away from the side of the coach; never had an issue with too much heat against the side of the RV.
I will however, admit to one downside. While it was nice to have it under the awning so that I could still grille even if it was raining, the problem was that the awning would trap the smoke, smoking me out while I cooked, AND it would divert the smoke up inside the MH if the windows or door were open, setting off the smoke detector.
Now I just use a small folding table. That way I can cook wherever I decide to; under the awning, outside the awning, out away from the RV...anywhere.
