Coleman NXT Voyager

Question

We just ordered a new Motorhome that comes with an attachment for an outside gas grill. I am a charcoal guy and have a Weber Smokey Joe (the 18" model) that we usually took with us when we had the Travel Trailer. I have never found a small gas grill I like. We had a Weber Q for awhile. I liked the grill as far as being well built and easy to clean but I could never sear meat without over cooking the meat. The grill grate just never got hot enough. I had the smallest model and thought maybe the larger models would be better. My neighbor got the larger model Q grill and he let me cook on it a few times and I had the same issue.

I ended up buying a Coleman NXT Voyager. It comes with a 10' hose to hookup to your Motorhome gas connection. Since I don't have the motorhome yet, I purchased the optional adapter where you can use the small Coleman propane tanks. I have cooked on this grill several times and I really like it! I can sear a steak where the meat is still pink in the middle. I can get the grill very hot. I have cooked steaks, burgers and chicken so far and have been very happy. I still prefer to use my charcoal grill (I think charcoal gives better flavor) but I am looking forward to using this grill on the Motorhome. Sometimes I just don't feel like setting up the charcoal grill so this will be a nice addition to the motorhome. The only negative is the clean up. It's not bad, but I have to wipe out the bottom with a wet paper towel to clean up the grease. It does have a drip pan underneath but you still have to clean the bottom of the grill as all the grease doesn't get to the drip pan. With the charcoal grill, I just dump the old charcoal and I'm done. If anyone is looking for a grill for their motorhome you might want to check out the Coleman.

BurchJust curious but how close to the side are grills that "attach" to an rv.  The ones I've seen are way to close for my comfort level.

... and just a "Heads up"..The Motorhome outside connection might be a Low Pressure outlet connection so you'll have the High Pressure gas hose reduced twice, once on the motorhome and again on the BBQ regulator...I had that problem along with others, so you just might check it out.  Hopefully the MFG got it right, but??? While it can be adapted, you'll end up with a "Frankensteeeen", heheh movie, adaptor... Good luck..

I have an 8-10' hose that theoretically will attach to the LP camper external hose.. The problem is, as I noted earlier, is that it's a Low Pressure quick connect.. But you can get almost any length of hose so keeping it away from the camper is not a  problem.Hope that helps..ps, for standup grills, I've seen some that attach to the bumper or like on the campers etc..

I had to purchase a separate regulator that has the small propane tank connection to be able to use the grill without the motorhome.  I actually had a hard time finding the adaptor with the regulator online.  All the adaptors I found were for a similar model Coleman grill that did have the regulator on the grill.  I ended up having to call Coleman and ordered the part directly from them.  I will try and take a picture of the setup tonight when I get home.
