We purchased this Road Trip after having a horrible experience with a grill from Cabelas. That grill had the lava rocks that moved every time you moved the grill and besides that the legs fell off. We were looking for something that would have fold under legs and no rocks. The Road Trip saved our camping days. We purchased a bag for it, keep it stored in the belly of the camper and with putting water in the tray below the burners, it is very very easy to clean up. You can place this on the picnic table to cook on or use the fold down legs. We have also discovered that this is the best way to cook grilled onions and potatoes or pork chops or chicken, etc on the griddle. Very very convenient and easy clean up. We both rate this a 5 stars. Great job, Coleman. Signed happy camper, Janet Becker

This truly is the perfect grill for the RV. Before buying, I researched everything from the Weber Q (good, not perfect), to the Themos Grill2Go (not really a grill).

Before it came, I was thinking that my high expectations from all these glowing reviews would cause me to not like it as much, but it's even better than some of these reviews! It's very portable, and folds up to a small size. And cooking on it is very easy, as well as just as important, clean up. If you get one, I recommend you also order a second grill grate to replace the griddle sometimes. (It comes with 1 of each). Griddle is great for eggs, grilling onions, etc., but it's nice to have the maximum space to grill hamburgers and hotdogs for the parties.

Finally, this blue model is the best of the three Coleman Road Trip Grills, too. Even though there are some with additional letters, this one has heavier duty grates than the other two, and a better stand system (in my opinion).

This grill replaced our old gas grill at home. In four years I've went through 4 grills to rust that occurs naturally here, just by a metal object being outside. I wanted a solution to finally eliminate that problem. This fits the bill with the fold up capability, and the storage bag to keep it fresh. You're still cooking over an open flame with the grill plate.

It comes with a griddle and a grill, each covering half of the cooking area, and I've obtained a 20-lb tank attachment, and an extra grill, for the big jobs. Try this feature out: the grill, griddle, and drip trays are washable in the dishwasher.... I can't say that about my old grills.

Used it first on a camping trip. Then, after we got back, cooked breakfast outdoors on a cold Wisconsin morning. This baby did what it's supposed to, and I couldn't be happier. I got an extra griddle surface and two stove grates, so keep that in mind. I don't think the grill is complete as sold, you do need the extra surfaces. At least, I did.

Best performance was a full breakfast on a cold Wisconsin morning, near freezing, wind blowing. I cooked bacon, hashbrowns, and scrambled a dozen eggs in a large skillet. Then I kept the pancakes coming while we started eating. Griddles were being exchanged for stove grates, and back again. Under tough, heat-stealing conditions everything cooked fast. I did up about 20 strips of bacon, 9 hash brown patties, and the dozen eggs with ease. Then the pancakes came off quickly and smoothly as an added breakfast bonus.

You try scrambling a dozen eggs at once, temperature near freezing, wind blowing, huge skillet, on any other camp stove. If you can, let me know.

I cannot say enough about this product. It is absolutely great for tailgating or any other activity where you want a grill on the go. During this past football season, we on average cooked 50-75 bratwursts and hotdogs. The grill holds about 30 at one time, so in no time you can make sure to get everyone fed. The grill is reliable, easy to set-up and breakdown, and heats up immediately. The electric start is also a huge bonus, especially in windy situations.

Couple of notes:
The grill comes standard with a grill and a griddle, but if you are into serious grilling then I recommend you can purchase a separate grill to replace the griddle for more grilling area. Second, Coleman sells a carrying/rolling case which is a must have for tailgating/camping. The case lets you pack everything into a small compact set and keeps your car clean when transporting. Finally, if you are seriously into grilling on the go purchase a one-gallon gas tank, the grill is highly efficient and you will get a significant amount of use out of the smaller tank.

I bought the Coleman RoadTrip Grill last summer to replace my 20-year old portable CharBroil gas grill. I spent quite a bit of time researching both the Coleman grill and the CharBroil/Thermos Grill2Go. I chose the Coleman because of it's versatility. I purchased the optional carrying case, stove grate, and additional grill section to go along with the grill section and griddle section that came with the unit. It's easy to light and stays lit on windy days. Cleanup is a breeze since almost every surface is porcelain enamel or non-stick coated. I use it almost exclusively for tailgating and get lots of questions about it at the stadium. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

I had seen the road trip grill once at a campground and knew I wanted one. I like it because it has burners like your home stove instead of one large traditional BBQ grill. Plus, the little stand works is great, I don't need an extra table anymore.

We picked this one up used, but it was like new. This grill has been the best grill I've had. We used to use those portable little grills that would only cook about 6 burgers. The burner would burn out after one camping season.

It works great. Putting water in the tray can be a bit of a pain, but cleaning it is a snap that way. I purchased a stove grate so I can use frying pans or boil water. I've replaced both my BBQ grill and cook stove in my motorhome with this one grill. Really! I also recently purchased another griddle so I can cook a whole pancake and bacon breakfast for 5 people at once. (bacon one side and pancakes on the other)

I'm really impressed with this grill. Its portable, cooks well and saves my space. (I don't carry a stove or extra table anymore) If your looking for a new grill, this is the one. You can use it at home too!

I read several reviews of this grill, and also the red one with wheels, before purchasing it. I somehow got the impression you could cook with the top down on this one, although understood you can't on the red one. I would probably have gotten the one with wheels had I called Coleman, which I did AFTER the grill was delivered. The Coleman customer service fellow confirmed that they "don't recommend cooking with the lid down." We like our meat cooked clear through (no blood visible), so this was a problem. I solved it by using some metal shelf bracers, which I line up with the open side down and the pointed side up, 3 in a row, which holds the lid up enough to keep the handle away from the heat, but still cooks everything through. Incidentally, the instruction book is not really clear about the lid issue. It says to keep the lid up while lighting it - but not while cooking with it - but Coleman recommends not cooking with it down also, as the handle might melt. It would have been a lot more intelligent for Coleman to offer options for handles - with unmeltable being one option and meltable being another! - and at least make the one on here removable so you can rig up something yourself if you want to put the lid down.

Despite this, I like the grill, it's a nice size, and I like the griddle and stove top burner options - makes it great for cooking when it's too hot in the kitchen. I made roasted vegetables on the griddle side and salmon on the grill at the same time, for a full dinner without using the stove in the kitchen. I find the 'non-stick' grill difficult to get clean - the grease seems to stick to it and I have to soak it for hours to get it clean; and will probably invest in the cast iron options soon. This is our first barbeque and we will get lots of use from it. I don't want to sound as though I don't like it - but I do want to make sure everyone knows what to expect. I am still trying to figure out if the wheels would have been worthwhile. We won't be moving this around that much, and it's certainly lightweight enough to carry if we do - so I think this is a fine option. Overall, I think it's a good choice. Since we got a good shipping price from Amazon, it was worth buying it online rather than locally - something to think about.

I have owned and used the Coleman Road Trip Grill for the last two years as both a home grill as well as a portable/camp grill. I have BBQ-ed with this grill in weather from 100-20 degrees, and it has never given me any problems.

I have also had it set up outside my house for the past two years, and it has stood up to everything from snow to extreme heat with very little weathering.

This is the perfect grill for someone who lives at an apartment complex and has limited porch/deck space and needs a good portable grill. I would HIGHLY recommend it.

The thing that I like about this grill is that it has a real slotted grilling surface; aparently a lot of the others are not open to the flame so you get a lot of grease build up. Also, this grill has a pan that you fill with water; drippings go into the water making cleanup much easier than other grills ive owned.

I use this grill primarily in my backyark cooking for myself, but it would be large enough to cook for 4-5 people easily. The base and grill both seem very sturdy, and its really easy to fold it all up for storage. The little propane tanks are nice too because you can get them at most drug/grocery stores, and you dont have to lug the big tank to the gas station for refills.

My only complints are that I havent found a Coleman cover so that I can leave it on the deck inbetween use, and that I wish it came with 2 grill surfaces instead of one grill and one griddle.

All I can say is you should definitely look at this grill before going with one of the other models...this is a real backyard BBQ that you can throw in the car at a moments notice!
