I'm seeking some advice on how people have gone about storing their Weber BBQ in their vans! We have a Jayco expanda outback with next to no spare room on our draw bar and we don't want to store it inside the van. This leaves us with the tunnel boot, I'd love to mount it on a slide in the boot and want to know how others have achieved this (pics would be great!).
I'm toying with the idea of installing a bigger tunnel boot door which the bbq would comfortably fit in with the lid on, your input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Derm

We have a baby q in our tunnel boot...Not a Bushtracker caravan either..LOL...
The opening we had made was 400mm clearance (high)..slides in no problem...with a bit of room to grab the handles to slide it out
If you are finding it a little heavy; remove the grill plate/ plates and store them in some hard card board, next to/ in another part of the tunnel boot.
Not a big effort to do. easier than removing the lid.
We have a weber q carry bag..but a cheapie works
well too.(Cheapie is shown in the pics below.
The fabric handles on the top of the bag, make it easy to handle.
We just put
the drip tray in a plastic bag to keep it tidy and clean in the bag (no smells either).
Then put it back in the bag where it usually lives under the q
Because the light weight canvas bag is waterproof, no smells escape.
We picked it up at a C&C show in
Adelaide..made by Hall's canvas in
Adelaide
Fortunately we have a front boot too, which we can store the weber rolling cart.
Fitting a slide would take up too much room and height in the boot.
If you find it too difficult to fit in your tunnel boot..the q will not smell once in the bag..as I said..just put
the drip tray it in a small plastic bag to seal it off too.Don't chuck it away after every use..just roughly clean it with paper towel.
We keep ours in an open plastic tub in the back of our Landcruiser wagon when we go travelling without the caravan. No smells

Canvas bag

Zips up with a wide opening

Ends pull together to make a tidy bundle

End view

Strap handles are easy to grab

We have the small weber cover over the top of the q which helps protect it from rubbing on the zip

Fits snugly in the tunnel boot
