Anyone use a bumper mount grill?

Wondering if I should get a bumper mount grill or just a Coleman RoadTrip grill.

I will have an outdoor kitchen on my TT with a 2 burner stove and
I want something that doesn't sit on the picnic table at the campsite site. I was also thinking burner grill top but it may be too small.



Is a BMG more convenient to set up/use?

Any recommendations?
  • If you’re fair weather pavement pounders, bumper mount grille may be ok, but add in a liberal dose of dirty road spray and/or dust and mud from dirt or gravel roads and a bbq exposed to that doesn’t work so great IMO.
    Used to carry our little bbq in a hitch rack behind the camper, but it would get caked with road grime and grit sticking to the insides.
    Just throwing it out there. I’d rather not have to clean the bbq off regularly.

    our new travel trailer came with the swing out grill on the rear bumper

    not sure how much use i will get out of that but i will find out

    i will treat it like i do the weber gas grill at home,all grease gets removed after each use and wiped down too(im anal about keeping things in like new condition ;) )
    That's also a great habit to get into in bear country. :W

    If I don't have another option (like a picnic table or something similar), I pull out and set up this little table. It takes about a minute at most to set up or take down, and when stored takes up about as much room as a collapsible chair.


    I have a bumper mount set up on my TT and have used it for 4 years. It is convenient and the grill fit into my outdoor kitchen on top the counter.

    Toward end of last year I converted my Weber Q to run off the propane line and bought this exact compact and fold up table to put it on. The Weber is a much better grill. Downside is it is too big to fit on the counter in my outdoor kitchen and outside pass through storage so I have to haul it in the truck bed and if I have my golf cart in the bed it will have to sit on the floor inside the TT door.
