17' Series Will a weber fit in the tunnel?

Hey @23chris we have a 2014 17.56-2 OB I thought the front tunnel boots are similar and we have a Weber Baby Q but it will not fit in the opening, I believe it can squeeze into the boot if you put it in from the inside but it is a bit more painful.
I know some of the earlier year models had a slightly larger tunnel boot, the other guys on here might be able to confirm
btw: the Weber is a great product and well worth the purchase even if it doesn't fit

Cheers Burnsie can I ask where you store your weber when on the move?
cheers
We store our Baby Q in the Weber Duffle bag, keeps everything dirty inside the bag and we leave it on the floor inside the door when travelling. When we arrive at camp we always take it out and set it up on the table ready to use.
Ours always travels in duffle bag as well and just put it on a table when we get there
Have the same van as @burnsie and no it won't fit through the tunnel opening unfortunately. Would love to set it up in there on a pull out draw like some have done on other vans.
Ours also gets stored in a duffle bag and placed in the box on the front.... Usually one of the first things to unload and get a roast chook going while setting up
One of the best investments we got for the van!

Have you looked at something different our Q200 just squeezed in our 22.68 tunnel although was pushing up against the roof and a tight squeeze... a Q100 would of fitted. We got a never used Sizzler high roof BBQ cheaper the a Q1000 and I like it better then the Weber for me.
It might fit in?

Our ancient weber is stored in a plastic box on the draw bar, behind the stone guard and has travelled there for many a year and many a kilometre.
I used two very expensive polystyrene boxes, cut to accommodate mr weber, and it doesn't move.
I just have to remember to free it up before we open the front bed end. Works for us.

I dont have the "Weber" duffle bag (feel like a poor cousin now )
we just have the cover that came with it, it gets put into and out of the Van, under the table, with our chairs when travelling

I don't think they'd invented a duffel bag when we bought our Weber....around the time of dinosaurs.
I gave ours a good clean yesterday with the wire brush etc as, once more, it refused to light and noticed the black paint on the base is almost gone. The inside is consistently brown but there's no rust on the burner pipes.
I'm wondering if we need a replacement piezo igniter.
Anyone replaced one of these? Or maybe a new BBQ. I love the a Weber but others may now be as good. I saw one which looked like a ladybug so I'm tempted.

Try a 'Ziggy' from BBQs Galore - cheaper and fold up smaller. Single burner is the smallest. Fits in front boot of my Starcraft 20.63.3
The only reason I haven't purchased a Weber Q is that it won't fit in the boot of my Basestation. I currently have an old, cheap 2 burner from Bunnings that does fit (I modified the legs to fold).
Currently investigating the Everdure Neo Buddy that according to their specification is only 5mm too high - a visit to check it out in person and see if I can tweak its size is next.
Other benefit of this BBQ over the Weber is it's less likely to be stolen when left outside the caravan.
Will post again if I decide to purchase.

Weber roast is definately the best! I find it better than a camp oven.....and they are great.
Steak is also great but roast is superb. The joy of cooking a succulent roast, on the road, is outrageous and all you need is an extra tablecloth to make it a really enjoyable occasion.
We've just finished the roast lamb we cooked two nights ago and, even reheated, the flavour is still there.

its an either either type thing
like cooking on Gas / Fire / electric frying pan
whatever floats your boat I suppose
Hell Yeah!!!!!! When we got the Q100 for the van while away we threw out the old 4 burner gas BBQ on return and got a 200 for home
Can't help with this one @23chris as haven't used one but know a few that have them and swear by them.
The Ziggy is not as good as a Weber - but it is good enough for me and fits in the boot etc... DOS
FYI - happy to clarify that the Neo Buddy does fit (just) into the Basestation front boot. Not sure if the boot opening size is the same as on other models.
Only purchased today so haven't had opportunity to try cooking on it yet.
