My Coachmen Freedom Express came with a grill that pulls out of the sidewall so the first thing I did was swap it out for a stove - no way I want a grill that smokes and leaves behind a greasy grilling smell anywhere near the camper. A 2-burner Coleman camp stove doesn't, for grilling I park a Weber Q120 on the campsite picnic table well away from the camper.
Regardless of the mocking no way I'd pull either of these trailers with anything less than my V8 Silverado. :R
Yeah, I worry about a grill also. Am probably going to give it a chance though. Have a Weber Q also. Really like it, but wouldn't mind having something easier to store. As far as towing, obviously full size is the way to go, but I'm not giving up my truck. I feel like it's going to be ok with what we're looking at. Decided to go with the Coachmen Apex 245BHS. Getting a really good price on an '18, but have to drive to Cincinnati to pick it up (5 hour drive). I guess I'll find out right away how well the truck can handle it. Nervous though. I haven't towed anything that large which I'm not terribly worried about, but that is a long haul for me. Everywhere we've gone has been inside of an hour.
