We were hanging around drinking coffee on a chilly November day at Old Mill Stream Campground in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania when he asked a fateful question. Would I want to go with him to the Coleman outlet store nearby? He needed a new globe for one of his gas powered lanterns. Coleman RVs have been around for half a century, and since then, the Coleman Lantern travel trailer has become one of North America’s most popular RV travel trailers. Coleman Lanterns are built with quality in mind, and they provide amenities that set it above and beyond. See our selection of Coleman Lantern RVs today at your local Camping World dealership and online.
The plastic base is not very durable nor does it stay on when you lift the lantern by its handle. Place your finger over the hole in the air intake tube where the generator just came out of. Use coleman sleeping bag an air compressor to blow-out the burner assembly by holding the air nozzle under the burner cap(s) and blowing air up into the lantern. This will clear dirt and insect nests out of the tubes.
The reflector was designed for the earlier LQ lantern but also fits in L220 and L228 models. The spring steel reflector rests against three of the uprights and the shiny inner surface reflects light from the mantles. The ventilator and mica globe were removed for this image. These two Quick-Lite lanterns are unusual because the pump is only partially mounted in the fount. The check valve can be seen between the pump and filler cap.
This allows you to bring many lanterns on a week long trip and not worry about charging all week. The Coleman will not make it through a week long camping trip unless you use it sparingly. Although coleman canopy you may not be able to buy this exact one these days, they do make a similar one. The other thing to notice is the the color of the light. The gas lantern gives off a very warm yellow light.
Coleman made this version of their L327 model for their Sunshine Products subsidiary circa 1929 based on a parts comparison to dated Quick-Lite lanterns. The baffle plate (lower image) is unplated steel rather than nickel plated brass and lacks Sunshine Products stamping. Months after Coleman – Wichita stopped making the Model 200, they got Coleman 200 parts from the Coleman – Toronto factory that was still producing this model. The Wichita factory needed parts to fill a special order for the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) (Boschen). The engraved OCD serial numbers (middle image) were apparently done in Sacramento, California. This lantern, in Ed Franklin’s collection, is date stamped November 1951.
In “A” (Jan. – June) 1951 Coleman was making the 220D and 228D with green painted brass founts rather than nickel plated brass; compare to the Model 200, above right. The valve wheels on these lanterns are brown plastic and coleman sleeping bag there is no decal on the side of the fount. The direction disk on this Coleman 237 is stamped Made in United States of America but hidden by the collar the word CANADA is stamped (upper right image, above the red letter A).
