BBQ, Chairs & Table

Hi All. Have a Hip problem & walk with a cane, looking for suggestions on what to get for these items with ease of setup & take down being the most important. Have a Class A (36ft) & a t-tap off of my Main propane tank for the BBQ.
  • Those RVs with the grill that come out of the side are starting to look pretty good to us because of the same reasons.
    We have the Road trip and bag chairs and folding chairs and steel table, in a bag and so on.
    Really appreciate some of the better State Parks with good picnic tables and grills there waiting on just a cleaning and some charcoal.
    We have a Coleman table and benches. The benches nest in the bottom of the table. Not too heavy with both of us but getting it out of or off the slide out tray is still a chore with the bay doors overhanging.
  • What is the brand of the compact BBQ grill? Where did you buy it? It looks perfect for me.

  • A year on the road full time and I too quickly found out just all what was pain to pull out and set up and then pack it all away when it was time to leave. I was exhausted before I even got to eat! :B

    Here is what I finally ended up with that makes my tired bones happy!

    Small Lightweight Aluminum folding table, found at Walmart. Not cheap but WELL worth the price for how light they are and how they fold up easily for storage. Buy one for the BBQ and one for you to eat on.

    Ditched the lawn chairs in the bag. They are WAY too low to sit in and I no longer can get out of them!! Invested in a nice steel tube flat seat chair from Gander Mt or any big box sporting store. Folds flat and real easy to sit down and get out of.

    Threw out all my BBQ's and bought this. About 2 inches thick when closed and will fit virtually anywhere in an RV storage bay. Uses small bottle of propane.

    Place BBQ/stove on one of the aluminum tables and pull your chair up to the other table and you are all set!

    All lightweight and easy to set up and put away. I'm a slow learner, took me a year or so to figure out how to scale down to items that were easier managed. :W
  • I'm in the same situation as you. I have a Coleman road trip grill, very inconvenient to move, set up, and take down, even with help. I wouldn't recommend it for you. I got a $50 cheap grill at Lowes, small, easy to handle, does the job. Brand is Master Forge. Only big enough for 2 people at most, but can be moved around one handed. Mostly use picnic table at campsites. We do have a folding table and zero gravity chairs that wife sets up.
