RoadTrip 285 Standup Portable Propane Gas Grill
Product details
Web ID: 21043589Needs improvement
Overly cumbersome and cheap materials. The wheels are a joke, made of plastic, won’t hold up long term given the weight of the unit. Also mine didn’t bolt in securely all the way. The locking mechanism is very flimsy, looks like an after thought. It kicks open and closes easily, so that’s good. Overall it’s too heavy and strangely shaped to be easily portable. The fact that the cast iron grill panels don’t lock or clamp to the inside makes me scared to roll it around with them inside. Not well thought out, needs more time in the design room.

Great travel/camping grill
Great for my slide out griddle in my camper. This is a great grill. I have an expensive grill with every bell and whistle but hate cleaning the beast. This is a great grill it has three knobs for temperature, a nice temp gage on the hood, easy to take anywhere, easy to clean, and cook on. There is a good amount of space to cook, two small pull out side tables and the grills are quality not flimsy wire. I absolutely love to grill and this is the best bang for your buck!!!

Must have grill
Awesome grill that works great and the ability to fold it up is really handy. Very portable which makes it a must have. Even heating is nice as well!

The towing handle comes off very easily
The towing handle comes off very easily. I can't us it to pull the grill. The tabs are not long enough or strong enough.

Love these
The Coleman Road trip portable propane grill is great to take the football games for tailgating. It is very easy to clean and the temperature is easy to control.. The hamburger is always cooked perfectly.

Where ever the party is so are we.
You can’t beat purchasing this! You can literally take this anywhere. Someone called me out on a grill competition, they didn’t realize I was so serious when I pulled up and put this bad boy together in 2.2 seconds. Everyone was surprised…. The temperature holds perfectly and I’ve had my grill for few years now and it goes wherever the challenge is set! My favorite line is “ we can come to you…. Nooo problem” lol

Perfect for tailgating and a great purchase!
I bought this grill in the fall of 2022 for tailgating at ND football games. I've used it 11 times, the last time was last weekend and the next time is this coming weekend. The only complaint that I have is that the extending shelf on one side was a little faulty after the first use. Not a huge deal as I am able to still use it. Everything else about the grill is great. The burners are all still in good working order and the grill heats up evenly throughout. The burners ignite on the first press of the ignition button every time. It generates a good amount of heat and I'm able to cook everything fairly quickly for a small grill. The rest of the construction of the grill is solid. I've had no issues with the sturdiness of it at all. It's lightweight and portable and I'm able to load and unload with relative ease. Everyone who sees me grilling on this grill loves it. I would buy this grill again in a heartbeat.

Construction shortcomings
OK, the grill is nice looking and is lighter than the Coleman portable I had. Two issues in construction. Why did you change to that type of lick for the top? The push down lock was much better and secure. This new gizmo is sure to break. Second, the release for the bottom keg, when closed you can’t take it off because the release pins are on the inside you can’t push them in. Go back to the snap lock. Also, when trying to match up an adapter to a 20 kb tank, very confusing as to the model number recommended. I ordered one, hope it’s correct. Haven’t grilled yet, but I’m sure it’ll cook fine.
