Hello everyone,
Being new to my ROO 232 I seem to only be asking questions and not offering any advice. I hope that will change next year

I purchased the outside grill option, and it is a very nice addition. The built in hose and quick connect are great!
I do have a couple of questions.
Is there a case I can purchase to store the grill when not in use? I try and clean it but there is always stuff left over. I have searched with no results. I'm using a trash bag but it seems to rip pretty easy.

Here is a question for all of you handy folks. Has anyone either purchased or built and outside stove top that can replace the grill when needed? The grill is great but not as much so for cooking certain things. I'm thinking a stove top that would slide right on the rails for the grill. Has anyone every seen such an item?

A ready made stove top would be best but I'm handy enough to build one if I had the plans.

In case anyone is interested I found the hose for the Level-Airs for $5.95 a foot in Pennsylvania. Tho only thing is you need to purchase 10 feet. Shipping is very reasonable, only $11 for 10 feet of hose to my home state NJ.

have you tried a duffle bag or sports bag to carry it I have the Baby q and i got the bag for it . Maybe buy that bag and use for your grill .As far as replacement stove build a platform and attach the stove of choice and attach to the wall mount almost like a 2-1 fixture

I think you may be onto something with the duffel bag. My middle daughter plays many sports and she has bags that I'm sure the grill will fit into. I'm off to the sporting goods store!

As far as the stove goes, I was thinking the same thing a far as the stove goes. The one missing piece is the metal rail to mount to the platform to hold it the the trailer. I can't find a place that sells that metal rail. I would think all those tracks are the same on all campers. I will keep searching!
Thanks for the help!

I put ours in one of those Rubbermaid storage bins. Keeps the mess in something easily hosed out. We even fit a second BBQ and a 2 burner camping stove in there too!



As for the stove, Rockwood has those too. One came with our Rockwood PUP and it hooked exactly like the BBQ our Roo came with. Maybe look into buying one new or used?

Ours goes into a large garbage bag and then back in the same box it was shipped in. Under the dining table during transit.

Mine just goes back in the box it came in, and is put right in front of the back bunk as you walk it. It never moves. I also have a coleman Grill to go kind of thing. I put that in it's case between the pantry/closet and the slide in..

Coleman Storage Tote

Bought this awhile back and it is ideal for the RVQ. Instead trying to jam the grill into a compartment it is easily accessible and fits nicely on the floor or between the rear bunk and slide during transit.

The grill goes in the top pocket and the ROO side table and grill mount go in the bottom pocket with plenty of room to spare.

That's the bag I've been looking for. I think it was new last year. Back to Dick's to look for one again.

+2 for the Coleman Storage tote. It fits the grill and rack in it and I am able to fit it under the seat of the dinette in my 232.

Well I'm off in search of the Coleman storage tote. I see it on Dicks web site, I'm going to call the local store to see if they have one.

I think the Rockwood stove is another good idea. It only makes sense that it would fit the ROO. I'm going to start searching the classified ads for a used one.
