Baby Q is the only way to go Rex. Anything you can do in a "Normal" oven can be done in a Q PLUS it's the best BBQ ever. Just make sure you read the distuction manual and cook with lid DOWN.

Check out the "What's Cooking" section of the forum as there are a few topics and recipes there. YUM. Rex, you will never have any other BBQ.

We too, are Baby Q converts!
Use it at home and in the van, and must say it is the best thing since sliced bread!
It just works. One of those wireless digital meat thermometers are good to use for a roast, just clip it on your belt,set the type of meat you are roasting, and it will sound an alarm when it reaches the desired internal temp! It will work a couple of neighbors away.

I have a Hark brand BBQ bought at Anaconda for $80. Bought it after using my sister's Baby Q at the beach, trying to do scones, pizza, bread, and a roast. The Hark is mostly pressed metal but quite light and easily dismantled for minimum storage space requirements. Seems to put out twice the heat of the Baby Q and easy to add a windshield. Trying to keep heat in the Baby Q in a pretty stiff breeze was what put me off that model. What ever you get, consider the height of the lid over the plate if intending to bake or roast.

I am also in the process of looking for a BBQ for our new caravan.

I have considered both the Baby Q high lid version (with temp gauge) and the equivalent "Ziegler and Brown" from BBQ's Galore, while both appear to be very good and have many fans in the caravan world. I am not sure about either.

While looking I came across the stainless steel sizzler#2 with high lid, while not cheap, it is similar in price to the above two, but comes with two burners and weighs the same as the single burner Baby Q. It also has some nice options like the ability to use as an oven or gas stove and even an optional rotisserie.

I have yet to buy one, but I have heard from several caravaners they are a good BBQ and you can often find them on special up to $50 cheaper than RRP.

This is just another option to consider. It is always nice to have several options.

Good luck in your search, no matter which one you get it is really nice to cook outside when travelling.

Thanks, folks, for your recommendations. I now know which models to investigate further. Sounds like they would all be suitable.

Webbers are like Toyotas, you can get parts for them everywhere (i.e. lots of Webber dealers). Some of these other BBQ's are only sold by particular camping chains so limited ability for parts if you need them.

Good point, Gus. The Baby Q it is.
