Camping Gear Reviews
A place to discuss camping gear, homemade or bought, that you think applies to VWs and VW campers.
Lanterns
Since the "lantern thing" is going to come up, I might as well start it now.
Our campouts are typically lit via older style kerosene lanterns - the silent, less bright type. There are a number of reasons for this, but I'll let the discussion begin here.

Battery operated ones don't make any noise and come in adjustable lighting patterns (bright enough to read by down to "mood" lighting"). I swear even the lamp oil that doesn't smell, I can smell. Only oil light I have ever cared for was a super cool olive oil lamp I got years ago in Portland, OR and lost in one of my many moves. Unfortunately, this was a lamp, NOT a lantern and you can;t use olive oil in a kerosene lantern.

ive been using these solar lanterns for years, they charge even in cloudy conditions and are bright enough to cook under. They aren't as bright as my LED headlamp of course but for navigating in the dark they work wonders, plus they require no additional purchases like batteries & fuel which is perfect for my teeny wallet.
