RV BBQ

I have one and have never used it. I can't justify placing a cooking unit of any kind that close to the side of my trailer. All that aside, I don't want grease all over the side of my trailer. Mine is still in its original case and sits in the garage until the day we would sell the trailer. But, to answer you question: definitely remove it before towing the trailer.

Gotta love these type comments about concerns which are based on ZERO FACTS and ZERO EXPERIENCE which are NON EXISTENT. Also, comments about steaks catching on fire (WOW someone needs to learn how to grill and learn what the hinged cover on grills are for just like putting out a fire at home in a skillet .... PUT A COVER ON IT. HERE are the REAL FACTS (IMO of course;) ...

1. It does not even get the side of the trailer warm when used.

2. The cover is hinged and lifts up protecting the side of the trailer from any grease from ever getting any where near the trailer. The only way to get grease from using these grills is to throw that greasy food directly onto the side of the trailer. For those not experienced enough to not keep their food from going up in a ball of fire simply closing the lid when that happens is 100% effective in solving that OPERATOR INDUCED GRILLING ERROR.

3. If you complain about smoke getting into your trailer I would suggest you need to learn how to grill and maybe give up grilling when camping from the get go. If the wind is blowing just right and could get smoke into a window I use the KISS principle and just close that window until I'm finished grilling.

4. If your worried about smoke or grease getting on that awning some 5' above your grill, then never expect to grill in inclement weather and even if grease or smoke were to be an awning issue I think one should be paranoid over bird poop/pee, SAP, etc. and probably need to clean their awing a little more often than NEVER and would suggest not spending all their time that close to the awning to even notice this issue if there were to be one.
