I load my PBC in the truck and have a 22" Blackstone in the camper. checks all my boxes - but I do like the idea of having a PK to use too........

You can also go ultralight.

I like the Weber Q series for a portable gas grill. If you want cheaper though, go with the Weber Go-Anywhere gas grill - I had one of those, but stored it in a garden shed with a leaky roof, and it rusted to the point I tossed it out. For portable charcoal, any of the Weber portable (Go-Anywhere charcoal or Smokey Joe) are good. Nicer are the PK grills.

For some reason the the pic of the smoker built into the front bumper of a pickup keeps going through my mind, but I'll be damned if I can remember which thread it is located.

Here's one vote for the Green Mountain Grills Davy Crockett. Very portable, can be run off of 12V power, and gets hot (500 degrees) for searing. Nice little unit for camping and tailgating if you only need to cook smallish quantities of food.

Don't forget a dutch oven and some CI for outdoor cooking on the Smokey Joes. Charcoal and iron brother!

I enjoy using my Weber Q for tailgate.

Weber Q or PK360

I have a Weber q and an jumbo joe and I love them both. But, I can load my Akorn Jr up with the coal, wood and starter cube already in it. When I get to my destination I unload, light, and have pork butt loaded and ready to go in 10 minutes that will last 10 hours. That being said that PK looks tempting.

We have a traeger scout that we use, but temp control on it is pretty poor. Thought about a lodge sportsman, but we were concerned about the charcoal smell getting into the rv basement. We will probably replace the traeget with a grilla chimp at some point. Or get a truck we can tow and load the webers in it.

This one is portable....

How much capacity do you want, and how portable to you want it to be? If you want something smaller, good enough for 2 or 3 and uses 1 pound propane bottles available at any WalMart, may I suggest a marine grill. Magma is the big name there, but there is also Kuuma. You get something all stainless, and they latch shut making them easy to move (once cool).

If you don’t mind having to keep charcoal around (and having an ashy cooker to stow, the PK360 is more portable than a kettle except for the tiny ones that have less than 1/2 the capacity. Or go for the gold and get the broil King kamado with the trailer hitch holder. Then it shows behind the RV for a no mess no fuss (mess is the problem of whoever is too close behind you) solution.
