Roadtrip Grill - coleman, coleman grill
My family and friends have been camping together since "04" and every year we accumulate more and more camping gear. This year I bought the Paul Jr. Coleman Roadtrip Grill (which is excellent) because of its compact design and wanted to keep it clean and stored away without damaging it so I bought this carrying case/bag for it and it fits perfectly. All I had to do was remove the grills removable handle and it was a snug and perfect fit. There's no shifting or rattling. The bag has its own handle and wheels for easy accessibility. It also has straps inside to strap everything in place. If you're in a quandary about which carrying case to get for your Paul Jr. Roadtrip Grill this is it. I read other reviews and none mentioned this specific grill so that's why I'm emphasizing it. Hope this review helps you. Coleman Road Trip Accessory Wheeled Carry Case
In addition to providing extra storage for hookup or cooking accessories, the case prevents dust or other particulate matter from getting into the cooking areas (the grill's metal lid closes and fits fine, but it's not airtight, of course) or into the propane connection.
If you're transporting the grill on your car's roof rack, having it in the case makes it easier and safer to bring down off of the roof and hand it to your helper. There won't be a chance of your helper's hand being cut on a sharp edge or of having the metal lid come open when you're moving it. Yes, the grill's metal lid has a latch but if you or a helper forgets to engage the latch or accidentally opens it while moving the grill, disaster will invariably follow. Roof transport also increases the likelihood of road dirt, bugs, or other unwanted items getting into your grill, and being able to avoid a half-hour of cleaning bug debris off of your grill before you can start cooking at your campsite will most likely result in happier campers all 'round.
If the grill is used for car-camping at a remote campsite location, you may not have the facilities available to clean the grill up perfectly after it's used, and you may wish to do a final cleanup at home where it will be easier. The case allows you to pack the grill into your vehicle without the worry of having a part of the grill that you missed cleaning touch something else and cause it to become soiled. With the popularity of compact cars, it's not always easy to pack your camping gear in a manner that precludes any chance of something touching your grill. Having a favorite article of clothing ruined because it brushed against a greasy spot on the grill may cause a frown to risk spoiling an otherwise splendid camping excursion. Similarly, getting a dark grease stain out of your car's carpeting or upholstery may be difficult. This case takes away all such worries and allows you to spend more time enjoying your trip and less time worrying whether you missed a spot while cleaning the grill in the rain as you were packing up your gear.
I like the cover with its inside pockets and the velcro straps and wheels. However, it does not fit all the grills as the description says. The handle sticks out of the case if you have a Road Trip LXE (red grill) so you can not zip it up all the way. I kept the case because it does protect it better than nothing and it does give us a way to store the extra grills, etc.
Bought this for my hubbys road trip grill. The grill fits really well and gives me a warm fuzzy knowing that any grease not cleaned will not end up where it should not (on the camper or the truck). It has handy wheels that make moving it around real easy, and getting it down from the pick up with the built in handles also makes things easier. The extra grates that we have bought for the grill fit in the pockets and storing the grill brush with the grill is another plus. It seems really well constructed and I expect will last us for years to come.
We purchased the Coleman RoadTrip Grill LXE 9949-750 and absolutely love it! Whenever we set it up, people always come around asking questions about it. Even more heads turn when I close the lid and lock it, and with one swift move, the whole grill folds flat. I then slide it into the wheeled carrying case and pop it in the trunk. Awesome. No messy coals or irritating smoke. I soak the grill grates in soapy water when I get home and wipe out some spattered grease. Ready for the next BBQ!
This review is about the carrying case. The case keeps any dirt or grease on the grill from spreading to the trunk of our car. It has handy-dandy exterior pockets for holding extra propane cans or extra accessory stove grates. The wheeled case will also keep your grill from getting scratches and make it easier for two people to lift it into and out of the trunk of a car.
If you decide that you can live without the Wheeled Carry Case, (after all, the RoadTrip Grill has wheels of it's own) be careful when wheeling the grill around. Coleman didn't make the grill lid lock very well and the slightest jar will cause the two interior grill grates to tumble out and onto the ground. Yikes!
I found this wheeled carrying case to be useless for our Coleman Road Trip Grill. We purchased a new Coleman Road Trip Grill, Model No. 9941A (the Blue one) in July. Although the ads say that this carrying case with wheels works on all Coleman Road Trip Grill models, this is simply not true. We could not get the grill to fit in the case with the stand, let alone the two side tables and the tank. This carrying case must only fit the older grills that are red in color and have the older fold-up stand. Coleman was not helpful at all and it took two emails and several weeks before they even acknowledged my questions and concerns. I returned the carrying case as it is of no use to us if we can't get the grill in it. Don't waste your time if you have purchased the blue grill and think it will fit in this case. - Coleman - Coleman Grill - Accessories - Carrying Case'
