When I come across a great piece of camp gear, I like to pass on the info.
I've just received a couple of great items from online Campmor catalog:
www.campmor.com that deserve mention
For van travel/camping I find there's greater comfort & convenience if I
travel lite. Want to have on hand all I need, so each piece of gear must
serve at least a dual purpose.

Recommend Highly:  small, aluminum, spring loaded candle lantern with bale &
hook.  Candles, @ 3 for $1.99, burn 6-8 hours.  Optional stainless, pack
flat reflector,  @$6.99 makes this little lantern really useful--& reflector
doubles as a cone for your coffee filter!  These little lanterns are good to
have on hand if battery powered lite fails--or for those who enjoy well
designed & crafted gear,  the candle lite adds a warm ambience inside the
van or out.

Thumbs Up!--Campmor's micro fleece sleeping bag liner adds 11 degrees of
warmth to a bag, & is available with a choice of right or left side zipper.
The cozy, double layer hood with drawstring is a nice feature.  Microfleece
liners make good tropical weight bags & dry quickly on jury rigged camping
clothes lines.
Campmor's prices beat REI & other online camping cataglogs, is secure, &
ships orders quickly at reasonable cost with a tracking number.

Cheers,
