Looking forward to others suggestions. my weber Q is always a headache, and I usually haul it in the towd now.
Mike, my only recommendation is to NOT use the ladder for this application. I know some people put Bikes and chairs hanging off the ladder, but my experience having the kid's bikes on the ladder was the mounting to the coach was not strong enough, and the vibration/bouncing pulled the ladder mounts off. On my coach, it actually was not the screws that pulled out, but the SMC cracked around and pulled loose, so I had to do some major body repair.
My other concern on the ladder, from when I did have the kids bike's hanging on it, was that it made the ladder not usable. So any BBQ mount you make, it should be done in a way you can still climb up the ladder if needed without killing yourself trying to climb over a bbq.
I have seen a few nice setups that come off the frame.

If you can fabricate, design a mount that uses the spare tire rack as a basis for an angle iron rack for your BBQ. Should not be too difficult. I have seen this idea used for bike racks and antenna mounts.
Just free thinking along this line.
I agree not to use the ladder.

I made a bracket from 2 x2" aluminum angle to hang on the rear chrome bumper. 2 more shorter pieces on top with captive wing nuts clamp it in place. I lined the inside surfaces with McMaster 2" super adhesive loop velcro so it cannot scratch as I have new bumper halves in back. Works great. This is for the RVQ that did not work due to defective regulator. Put on a new larger regulator and works great.

G'day,
I made a mount for a BBQ that attached to the rear bumper but after standing in the rain BBQing I said bugger this!
I then purchased one of these:

I screwed the mounting strip for the BBQ to the side of Double Trouble just above the LPG door. I had to make some standoffs for the
bottom of the mounting bracket / stand because the body is curved.
I was then able to BBQ under the awning and not get wet, PLUS when Helen and I had guests I could talk to them while I cooked!
It's been in use for years!

Subject: [GMCnet] BBQ Mount Ideas
Hello All, I'm looking to add a BBQ mount to the rear of the GMC.
I have looked at the Hitch mount varieties and prefer not to go this way.
Looking at the rear of the coach I was wondering how to utilize the ladder as an option.
I have researched various ideas but I haven't seen anything that uses the ladder for a BBQ except as a temporary mount while
cooking. A mount that
will allow for traveling as well as BBQ'ing seems more efficient.
I have seen boat application style mounts but they don't look like they would hold up to a long trip.
Is anybody using the ladder for this and if so show it off?
Thanks,
Mike
