The supplied grill would only introduce greasy cooking smells into the camper when in the stored position so I replaced it with a Coleman 2-burner stove and instead used our Weber Q for grilling.
This grill discussion reminded me of a whimsical exchange SoundGuy and I had a few years ago . . . Something about meeting somewhere in between Houston and Ontario for a "grill-off," or whatever. He's right about the introduction of greasy cooking smells via a typical grill - including the one that Coachmen supplies with this rig. We immediately replaced that one with a Timber Creek model that we had previously used for years when tent camping. It offers a grill burner/grate on the left side and a single stove top burner on the right. We get the best of two worlds for grilling/cooking. But the great part is that after cool down, it is an easy cleanup and wipe down to remove those greasy cooking smells. We bought this unit at Academy Sports & Outdoors here in Texas. I don't know about it's availability elsewhere, but we do use it quite a lot due to its flexibility. So it does offer an alternative.jfkmk wrote:
I did ditch the heavy table for a walmart fold up table. Much easier to lift out of storage, can easily fold up to make more room at night, and is actually bigger than the original.
Same here - never used the heavy table that came with the trailer and instead used a couple of easy to store light weight folding TV tables anytime we wanted to eat inside.
We're TV tray people, too. The fold up table that Coachmen supplied for under the bed storage has for a few years now served quite well for my wife as a sewing table inside our house. Besides, Coachmen did provide an additional dining table that is suspended from the ceiling frame of the pass-through. If we need a dining table for inside or out, that's the one we use.
