What is special obout the 200a?

Postby Forrest747 » Fri Aug 24, 2012 8:21 pm

Reading this forum and others about Coleman camping gear and I get a sense that the 200a for what ever reason is special. Why is that?

I'm basically a Kerosene Lantern guy but I love my 200A because when its lit its not like looking into the Sun.

Happy Trails

For me, it's the curves. I like my lanterns like my women, curvey. :o :R Also, one mantle uses less fuel than two and I'm a cheap b@stard.

What’s not to love? The curves she sport’s, the sexy red color? Her single mantle, that sips white gas like fine wine? 8) On a serious note… they are different than most of the green lanterns, and harder to find in my area.

It reminds me of the one my Grandpop always used when we camped, its bombproof, always lights and lasts longer than the 2 mantles. Thanks to Kirk I have another 200A that will have to be pried out of my cold dead hand to get it after I take my last camping trip a LOOOONG time from now (hopefully).. :D

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.
