Recommend a Smoker?

I use a Masterbuilt at home and have for 3 years now. It does a very good job. You can use any chips or dust which you can load from the side without opening the door. The door has a window which blackens quickly and I'm too lazy to clean. The remote is priceless and spoils one quickly. The 30" that I have does fine, but it is limited. I can't do more than 1 whole turkey and it can't be over 12# + or -, but that is generally the safe size to home smoke anyway. It works just as well in a 40 degree ambient as it does in in 95.
I don't know about parts, I haven't needed anything yet.
I would think it is one you might want to put on your list to consider.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I think we are going to go with an electric one, and forget about taking it camping. It's nice to have a place to ask questions from others who have experience with it.

Weber Smokey Mountain, 18" or if you have room 22". Load the charcoal ring with lump charcoal, throw on 1-3 chunks of fist sized wood, 10-15 lit briquets, and it will settle down to about 250-275 degrees for at least 7 hours, more if you pack it carefully. I have gotten up to 11 hour burn times with one load.

On the 22" I can do 1-8 racks of ribs or 1-6ea 10 lb butts.

A lot depends on what you want to smoke. I have a Bradley electric smoker that works great for anything. The control regulates the temperature within a few degrees of what I set it at. The nice thing is it has a separate smoke generator that allows me to cold smoke cheese.

I agree. I've smoked in many different smokers and on all fuels and to be truthful there isn't a lot of difference. I know that TV tends to send a different message, but they just try to keep the emphasis on the rubs and timing and not the fuel.
The only unit, IMO, that works well in an RV is Brinkman Gourmet. It breaks down so that the largest piece is the barrel, they can be charcoal or electric (the electric unit isn't as efficient as most), you can also use it as a grill. Once you put the charcoal, tools, and the grills and pans inside you're left with two units that can be stored separately.
I have this one in the 5er. I I replaced the leg bolts and use SS bolts with wing nuts so I can take the legs off to store it. If I had the room I would prefer the full size one however.

Depending on whether you prefer propane or electric, here are 2 units I'd recommend for entry level home smokers.

Propane

Electric

If you want a quality smoker, I recommend you buy a home smoker and a camping smoker. My bare minimum standards for a home smoker would be a little big for being mobile.
