RE: Lanterns Yes, I was talking about oil lanterns, absolutely silent. I got intrigued with the idea of the lantern last fall when the people on the vwcamperfamily list got involved in a group purchase of a bunch of antique lanterns. So I ordered one (new in my case) and used it on my trip in January. Then about a month ago I picked up a smaller version when snooping around a general store in Long Beach, Wa. I have yet to use either very much but do like the subdued lighting in camp at night. I hate the glare of mantle lanterns like a Coleman, much brighter than needed in most cases. But they do require that you carry a bottle of oil and they do need to be carried upright making them a little awkward in a Westy.
