I took an old gas grill in the bed of a PU truck on my annual fishing trip four or five times. The trip was only 100 miles, but it was on some really twisting WV roads. Every trip required re-aligning the burner tubes.
That was not hard to do. Actually, it was really simple, however, it was a really messy job. All that char and grease down in the grill is a pain to deal with. The worst part was taking the grill off to get down in there.
So, no, I have never taken the top off and configured a grill for full-time travel. My suggestion that you will experience increased breakage and early wear out was based on that experience.
I have also seen lots of stuff strapped down to the back of TTs and 5th Wheels. That stuff is at the end of a long lever. No matter how well you strap down the grill, the stuff inside the grill will still be bounced around.
Don't get me wrong. I still think it can be done. I'm just trying to throw out some pre-warnings so maybe you can prepare for some things you will have to deal with full time, every time you move.
If you are full timing and moving often, that would be a pain and more miles equals more stress on the grill. If not moving very often, I think it's a great idea.
