Shine some light on the subject....

If your like me, hitching up in the dark is quite a task.  Why not shine some light on the subject with a 12 volt utility light?!  I have installed two of these lights in the bed of my truck using my in-bed toolbox as a mounting point.  I ran a wire to the cab of the truck where I can turn these lights off and on at will.  They are great for backing up, hitching up, and warning off those tailgater's when they get too close for comfort.

Happy camping and see you down the road.

Lighting the way...

When I'm camping I like to see what going on in the dark.  These lanterns are so bright, you will think its daylight at your campsite. 

I use 2 of these and hang one on each end of my awning with bungee cords.  They can also be set on a table with the included base that turns the propane tank into a stand. 

These lanterns are great for when grilling in the dark, playing board games, or even just hanging out and talking with your family and friends.  You can find the mantels at any Wal-Mart or other store where they sell Coleman products. 

The brightness is adjustable with a turn knob style switch and the mantles are very cheap to replace.  The lantern uses a throw away type propane cylinder and these tanks last for hours.  I have been using the same tanks in mine for about 4 weeks at about 2 hours per night.

The price is very reasonable for the amount of light and performance you will get with these units.  There are more expensive models out that ranging into the $50.00 mark, but I don't see the benefits of those units over this one.
