When you’re travelling with a caravan or camper trailer, outdoor cooking quickly becomes part of the daily routine. Breakfasts, coffees, dinners under the awning. It’s all part of the lifestyle. But most setups aren’t as simple or as tidy as they could be.

That’s exactly why the BBQARM was created… to make outdoor cooking and prep easier, more organised and more enjoyable when you’re on the road.

 

Why Outdoor Cooking Setups Matter When You’re Caravanning

When you’re camped up, your outdoor setup matters more than you realise. A good layout makes everything flow better, from food prep to cooking to clean-up.

The trouble is, most setups rely on bulky folding tables, awkward trolley BBQs and limited bench space. It works, but it can be clunky, cluttered and frustrating.

The BBQARM was designed to solve that.

 

What Is a BBQARM? A Simple Swing-Away Cooking Setup Explained

The BBQARM is a swing-away mounting system that attaches directly to your caravan or trailer’s drawbar. 

It creates a stable, elevated outdoor cooking space right where you need it without lugging extra bbq trolleys, dragging around trestle tables, dealing with uneven ground, all cluttering up your campsite.

You simply swing the arm out when you’re ready to cook up a feed and swing it away when you’re done. It remains completely portable for easy set up and pack up!

Simple setup. Smart design. Real-world practicality.

 

How the BBQARM Works on Caravans, Campers and 4WDs

The BBQARM kit includes:

• A mounting bracket
• A swing-away arm
• A tray tabletop

The mount stays attached to your drawbar or tow hitch. The tray slots securely into the end of the arm and stays firmly in place.

You can also rotate the tray to get the perfect cooking position, depending on your campsite, wind or layout.

One of the biggest advantages of mounting to your drawbar is that you’re naturally positioned close to your gas connections, making it easier and cleaner to hook up your BBQ or gas cooker.

It also pairs perfectly with slide-out caravan kitchens, allowing you to keep the BBQ smoke and grease separate from your food prep area to create a safer, more functional outdoor kitchen setup.

It’s not just for your BBQ. Customers also use their BBQARM for many purposes including:

• preparation bench
• airfryer of gas cooker
• coffee or drinks station
• breakfast bar for kettle & toaster
• serving table
• bait or filleting board

Doubles as a Clever Camp Clothesline

One of the smartest things about the BBQARM is how adaptable it is.

With the addition of a simple connector piece, your BBQARM can double as a clothesline mount. With the Clothesline Connector for BBQARM Kit, you can slot in your collapsible clothesline, and you instantly create a strong, elevated drying station right at your campsite. No more watching it tip over from the wind and no need for drilling in pegs.

Because it’s on a swing arm, you can rotate it to catch the sun and breeze, helping clothes dry faster and because it mounts off the ground, it keeps clothes cleaner, allows better airflow and dries things faster especially handy when you’re travelling with kids or staying off grid.

It’s just another way the BBQARM is adaptable and helps make life on the road a little easier.

 

How the BBQARM Solves Common Caravan and Camping Problems

Most caravan setups are limited by:

• tight spaces
• awkward layouts
• unsafe cooking

The BBQARM turns unused space on your drawbar into a purpose-built outdoor cooking zone that travels with you.

It helps with flow, safety and comfort so you can spend less time fiddling with gear and more time enjoying your trip.
