I'd second scbwr. I've looked through several RV boards and the Webber has the best reputation. I just got mine and the DW liked it so much that she had me haul it out of the RV and set it up on the deck.
I'd also mention that it has the wings on the side for holding plates and utensils, and you can buy for it a folding cart (I did).
I bought the 220 and was sorry I did. Should have went with the 200. The 220 doesn't fit in my RV cargo compartment and I think the 200 would have. I have to remove the 220 lid to store it in my RV cargo compartment.

I checked the Home Depot web site for the USofA and it doesn't appear to be listed. Looks like a good one but perhaps only for you guys.

Quote:Why do I need one that big ..because I can .
That`s what I`m talkin` bout! That`s my stock answer as a good capitalist.
FWIW, I finally got our Broil King Porto Chef hooked up and fired up this weekend. In a steady 10-12 mph cross wind it lit on the first try and stayed lit. I filled the entire surface with big, fat burgers and it did very well. Some flares, but not too bad. Most heat at center. I really like the warming rack cause I can flip it up and use the whole grill or let it down and stack stuff on it. I know some folks don`t see a need for the rack but I wouldn`t be without one. All in all a pretty nice little grill for $78. Heck, the 8' hose and extra connector I had made up almost cost as much as the grill. And it all fits nicely in the vinyl carry bag.

I have been researching these things and the Weber 220 is my choice. Even the 200 won't fit into my storage, so why not get the 220. Besides, the 220 will make an excellent home grill to accompany my Weber charcoal grill on the deck. They make a stand for it too.
The portable, thin Coleman was a close 2nd and would probably do just as well, but the lid won't close while cooking.
Meanwhile I have the famous Wal-Mart $19.83 grill and it's really pretty nice.

I have gone through just about every kind of portable grill made, and finally bought my Q... they are probably the best small grill out there... but I hope we don't get like the Honda generator owners, where it is the only thing out there...
when it comes to a grill if it gets hot enough to burn meat it will satisfy and work for many...
as to the brinkman tailgater it is a nice grill that I first saw in a post here and set out to buy one... they are exclusively available at HD and not all of the HD's seem to have them...
I like the folding feature, which makes it much easier if you need to transport it...
the add price of $269 seems to be a made up number..
several I have talked to said they paid $149 for one... while I think that is a good price for it I only paid $99 for mine and so have others I have talked to... my biggest problem was finding one...
when it come to size sometimes bigger is better, I already have two big grills at my seasonal site, this makes three, and have had all three already going at the same time this year...
the only draw back to this grill and one of the other big grills I have is no closable lid that slows cooking time a little... I have a 24x24x8 high lid I use to cover things I want to heat more quickly and that works great...
I think you will like your brinkman grill, I like mine, but my big cast iron grate and burner one is the best I have ever had...
any time someone wants to demonstrate how well their grill works, be it a Weber or a wal-mart... I like my steaks med-rare...

The campchef's have a modular system that works well... a bit pricey but check oput their site.
I can cook for a dozen peeople on th griddle and have a 28 pot cup of coffe brewing.
Then for dinner I can pop off the griddle and pop in the Grill box and boil a pot of soup on the side.
Can even do a 14 lb turkey
I love it because it eliminated 3 things I used to take camping...3 burner stove...a RVQ Grill...and a table.
I have the pans and utensils hanging right on the grill.
