is this the plastic folding one Walmart has or a different one?
I have bought several tables for the BBQ over the past years RV'ing.:R
Threw them all out or gave them away. they were either too bulky for storage, too small to hold a BBQ, or not sturdy enough.
Finally settled on this one. REAL lightweight, folds completely flat big enough for all the portable BBQ's and sturdy on any surface. And can be left out in the rain! Surprisingly it can be bought at Walmart!
BEcause they store so nice I bought a second one for next to the camping chair, just the right height. - rockhillmanorExplorer III have bought several tables for the BBQ over the past years RV'ing.:R

Just doesn't seem like a good idea. I set up the grill away from the camper beside the picnic bench. But I will eventually add a table to the side, just not for cooking.
- wkandxjExplorerI've a rear swing mount. Convenient and away from the wall.
This one isn't mine, just an image I found online but same thing. - rockhillmanorExplorer II

IMHO attaching a grill onto the side of a RV is not a good idea. grease and smoke if under awning, I'd rather be able to move it to table where grease wouldn't matter. my grill came with the brackets and I haven't even installed them and have no plans to.

My first TT came with one installed from the factory. Thought it was really a neat idea. NOT.
I used it once and never again. Grease, smoke goes up the side of your RV and if the winds is blowing in the wrong direction it heats up the wall of your RV.
HAve a window open and the smoke goes inside your RV.
BBQ on a Portable table away from the RV and positioned depending on the wind is IMHO the only way to go when BBQ'ing around an RV. - BumpyroadExplorer

Probably not a bad idea but alot of folks do it. Don't know what the chances for a fire is.
Would certainly ruin my camping day haha...

Hey don't give up on setting up a table top to the side of your trailer. Would make for a great portable TV setup... We always have two of those fold-out wood slats tables (LOWES) sitting on both sides of the trailer door. Great catch all for things...

Roy ken - Bigbird65ExplorerI think I'll take the advice and keep the grill out from under the awning on a folding table. Thanks

I had one of those on my last TT...interestingly enough there was a warning on the awning that talked about cooking underneath.....I never used the grill there as I had visions of a grill flare up that went up into the awning and then game over....instead I bought a portable "Coleman Roadtrip". It's great....I even use it at home and have left my very expensive Weber under the winter storage.
ALot of trailers come with the quick connect angle piece on the side of the trailer with an optional outside GRILL.
You can adapt this to a table top and sit your grill on it perhaps...
Here is link for a RV.NET post showing what one dude did..
ADDING TABLE TO SIDE OF RV
I personally am not a fan of having HOT flames near my trailer but see alot of folks doing it...
