Weber Q series are probably the most popular grills in CGs by far. But, many pass-through compartment doors aren't tall enough to fit a Weber Q through it. I have to pull the pins off the hinges on ours and remove the lid to get it in, despite having a taller than average door. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Some put them just inside the entry door for travelling. We got a sweet deal on CL - BNIB Q1200 for only $60 from a lady who got it at a silent auction and had no use for it.
Our Weber is the best grill for BBQ-ing we've ever had - excellent quality and simple design. Does the best ribs ever and when I do them at home, I go out to the TT despite having a big fancy dancy BBQ on the patio. The removable aluminum grease tray is a nice feature. The Weber does have a flat 1/2 size grate available but you can't use two together because it cuts off air flow. Can't use pots or frying pan on it. I removed the regulator and got a new 20' hose with quick connect for connection to the low pressure pipe under the trailer.
The Coleman Road Trip is nice because it has interchangeable grates and you can do pancakes, steaks or use pots & frying pan. But is poor quality and has some dumb design flaws one of which is the big tray under the grates that is supposed to be filled with water to catch grease - I so hated that (and where are you s'posed to dump it in a CG?). We used to have one and replaced it with a Weber 1200.
We do 100% of our cooking outside and because the Weber gets used for grilling only, we bought one of these single burner stoves. Great for a frying pan, wok or pots and heats fast. I removed the regulator & hose and installed a new 20' rubber hose with quick connect. I use it all the time. We put it and the Weber on a roll-up aluminum camping table like in the 2nd pic.

We bought THIS about 5 years ago, and it's served us very well. Pretty sure we paid about $80 when we bought it.
I bought an extra-long hose so I can run it off the propane bottles on the tongue. No need to carry extra gas. Only complaint is that the steel legs are very slippery on a plastic table, so I have to use a tacky mat to hold it in place.
Here's my setup when we were at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone this past summer:

I have an quick connect at the back of my camper. Will the Weber work with this if i get the right connections or do i have to get a different regulator?
It'll work just fine but requires removal of the Q's regulator so you can feed your trailer's low pressure quick disconnect feed directly to the Q's low pressure burner. The gas valve is separate from the regulator so you still have control over the size of the flame. All you need is a hose with the proper size quick disconnect nipple to match your trailer's quick disconnect fitting and the correct size of threaded fitting at the other end of the hose that will screw on to the Q in place of the regulator.
What ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ he said, but instead of screwing the hose to the grill, put a quick connect on the grill. Then you have a hose with quick connects on both ends.
You can still run the grill from a standard propane tank after this modification if you buy a hose with the regulator built in. I carry both kinds of hoses so I can run my Weber Q from the LPG line on the trailer or hook it to a propane tank.

When I went full time I tried them all! And threw them all out or gave them all away!! :C
THIS is what I ended up with. Fits all the needs of grilling. And more importantly takes up very little space and is FLAT top and bottom for storage in our very small RV storage bays.
The thinnest and flattest bbq grill I have found!
Takes up the space of a laptop AND the top is flat. Which means you can put stuff on top of it in storage bay. Weber Q and most of the others have rounded tops and/or handles on top.
They come in all combinations.
2 burners,
1 burner w/grill,
Full grill
.....and pancake type griddle accessory add on for all three.
They are found at big box sporting stores and are made by several different companies. camp chief ranier, texsport, stansport, coleman. Different brand names same stove.
In the first post it was asked about a "collapsible grill" This is the only one listed by members so far that I would call "collapsible". The rest of them are "portable".
