Just got mine and I am impressed with it so far. I like the idea of one trip to the van with everything packed and organized.

I have taken this table lantern on two camping trips so far and it is amazing - super bright and great light dispersion + great (rechargeable) battery life + the magnetic strap and blue light option is also pretty cool:

https://www.ucogear.com/tabletop-led-lanterns/madr...anterns%2f

The bonus is that the entire site is on 20% off through until June 17 using the promo code DADGIFT. UCO's firestarter series of product is also pretty awesome - for spring and fall camping when things may be a tad damp.

Enjoy!

blue light is cool for discounts at K-mart but not good for night vision while camping.

Apparently that is the point of the 'blue' light - you can use it should you awaken in the night without disrupting your/others' sleep patterns - there is some scientific bio-rhythm thing going on that is beyond the scope of my insights. I use the white for reading and playing cards and have used the blue as a beacon to mark the campsite for dark. In all, it is a great piece of camping equipment - I also have the Goal Zero Lantern and prefer the UCO for its simplicity - note that both units can be used to charge electronic devices as well and both can be charged via a USB cable.

That looks like a great method, and looks like an ultimate DEAL, but $49 is just the collector bag. You have to buy the other 4 bags additionally.
I'd like to have that system up & running....

Good tip.

I have one of their 3 candle lanterns and love it:

It puts out just the right amount of light and you can swap in citronella candles if there are bugs. If you're using it in the van it gives off a little bit of heat which is nice on a chilly night. They say you can heat water on it but I've never thought to try that.

The flat pack grill looks decent:

Nope. You get all four inner bags, a drawstring bag, and the carrier for $49. About $55 to my door with tax and free shipping.

Get it while you can.

I bought this off amazon. I look forward to it! Do you ever charge your phone through the lantern?

I have not charged my phone from it as yet, but have used it to bump up the power (partially charge) a Bluetooth speaker and it worked pretty well. I have a couple of Blue Sea quick charge USB’s in the Westy that take of the phones pretty efficiently. The current Amazon price is a good deal.

There is an entire thread focused on these bags.

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=597694&highlight=mountainsmith

I have the set of four plus I added several more bags of similar style.
An insulated bag and also a dry bag for wet/dirty clothes.

We use these MountainSmith bags as our main travel bags even when not in the Van.

I'm intrigued by this panel.
120w flexible panel w/ grommets
I've been thinking about a rigid fiberglass hinged lid over the luggage well. More weatherproof than my marine grade canvas cover and 120w solar, as well. My winter project this year.

As am I. That's a heckuva price for 120W. 100W panels are twice that. Is their stuff any good?
