I've been tinkering with the same objective. I'm almost there but THe auto parts store closed before I could get there.
One word of caution. The rack you are using to hold your LXE appears to be a basic RVQ style rack.
I am a big fan of the RVQ and used an RVQ regularly on my prior rig.
One reason many campers did not like the RVQ is that they feel the grill did not put off enough heat or get hot enough for them.
The RVQ was a made to stay cool and operate in close proximity to the RV. The Coleman was not designed to be used that close to the RV.
My Coleman definitely generates more heat than my RVQ ever did.
I'm not sure it will be a problem, but it is an issue I would keep a close eye on. Your set up looks great and is well thought out. I suggest you monitor the grill to ensure it does not get hot enough to damage the RV.
I plan to do basically the same thing but I will continue to use the rolling stand that came with my Coleman grill.
I grilled last night then again this morning. Today grill was on high for a good 20 mins the trailer is a good 10 inches from the grill and remains cool to the touch.
So all is great and the 5 hours I spent cleaning and modding the grill were worth it!
