I’ve seen all kinds of paraphernalia strapped on the backs of RVs. Everything from boats to wash tubs. This is important stuff and what could be more important than a barbecue? The problem with most BBQ’s that RVers use is that they're just too small for a full fledged tail gate party. For that you need a Big Daddy BBQ and there really isn’t a convenient place to store one on the typical RV.

So, for those of you thinking about building a “rack on the back” for such a purpose, let me show you what a fellow RVer has done. He has a heavy BBQ so he purchased a Blue Ox carrying rack and attached it to the back of his motorhome. You can also set this up so you’ll still be able to tow a car. The rack comes with a slide out ramp which he uses to roll the BBQ into position.

A 12 volt electric wench attaches to the BBQ frame which was beefed up and equipped with larger wheels.

He uses ratchet tie down straps to secure the the unit to the frame.

I like how he uses his BBQ cover with the “spider web” truck bed elastic chord. This is a great way to bring your BBQ appliance with you on the road. Nothing beats good BBQ especially when you're RVing. Keeping the ideas rolling your way - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

This looks like over kill unless you plan to feed an army or more. I have a RVQ grill which attaches to the side of the rv. I find this is more than enough for most people needs.

Jeff Gordon will have a bigger one on his new 2 million dollar RV. He has money he hasn't spent yet.
