I have found that with portable grills, you definitely get what you pay for. Our Hybrid HTT came with a Sidekick Grill, similar to the RVQ. We really liked it and it lasted about 5 years. When we went to replace it, we say the $200+ price tag and decided to just get a $40 tabletop grill from Walmart. It didn't last much more than 2 years, it rusted out pretty quick.
When the same Sidekick in our Motorhome finally failed, we decided to spend the money and get the highly recommended Weber Q series. We bought the Weber Q 1200 and couldn't be happier. When we bought it we were camping seasonally and used it almost everyday, sometimes twice a day. We brought it home after leaving for the season and used it at home the rest of the year (we spend our summers up north and live down south). This year is the 6th year we have owned the Weber Q and it still looks and works like new. We did have to replace the $30 burner tube once. It was actually still under warranty, but I figured it'd be less hassle to just buy a new one.
If you want it to last more than a couple years, don't cheap out. Spend the money and get a good quality grill.
