Anyone have one? What do you like and dislike? Would you buy it again? How do you use it and what do you tow it with? I think we've narrowed it down to this unit...it's big enough for the 2 of...

The 192RBS is one model that cries out for cabinet doors on the end of the bed platform, so one doesn't have to lift the heavy bed platform & mattress in order to gain access.
I really like how the external grill pulls out from the side of the trailer even though it was an "option" in my model year...

That underbed storage is a very important place for me. I wish they had put in the things that make it easy to lift and hold it up. I keep thinking about doing it myself, but just haven't gotten around to it. I like the door idea, but I keep large things like my multi cooker and ice machine in there. Easy access from the top would be best for me.
It would be rather simple to add a couple of gas shocks to the bed platform which would ease lifting all that weight. Before installing the cabinet doors I did make a notched platform support with a piece of 2" x 4" cut to length, as illustrated in a previous post. That said, the openings I cut in the bed end are large enough to easily pass a clothes hamper through so I'd imagine a multi cooker & ice machine would as well.

The grill, I like. However, I obsessively cover it in foil before use and clean it to the point that it is like new after every use. Doing that is a HASSLE. But, I grill so rarely, that I haven't given much thought for another approach.
The grill supplied with my own 192RBS is still brand new, never been used. Certainly it's smaller than a Weber Q so I'm tempted to try it out but concerned it just can't grill as well as a Q I've avoided messing it up. Perhaps I should try your foil idea but when I've done that in the past with my Q220 we have on the deck the results have been disappointing. Hard to find something better than a Q for camp grilling! :p
