My apology for being off topic. On the harbourfrieght.com I noticed a three way LP three burner/grill for $59.95. Only drawback is that you can't use it indoors, too bad because it would make a great replacement for the regular two burner my trailer comes with. Great idea anyway for those ok about cooking outdoors. One would have to always be putting up an awning of some sort to use it outdoors.

Depends on where you are camping. In the southwest, your site normally comes with a table and a shelter over the table.

When we are traveling, we NEVER bring an awning because we are never in one place long enough.

Once we retire, it will be a different story.

Unless it is bad weather, I don't plan on ever cooking in the trailer. I'm camping because I want to be outside.

Frugal folks eschew awings for poly tarps, aluminum poles and rope. Less expensive, more flexible in application and easily replaceable if lost to wind (and will do far less damage to your rig and others on its way to where ever the wind is taking it!). YMMV! Each of us has a different camping style...
