Coleman Campmate Craigslist Find $30

[demagxc]

Found this today. Awesome price but a little too far away for me. Maybe someone here will jump on it.

Great find. It's actually a Dosko Campmate, no longer made, and they sell for $200-$300 (plus shipping!) on ebay whenever they are posted. I have one (same colors) and it's awesome.

I found a Campmate and lifted it this weekend on Craigslist here in Chicagoland. Paid pretty much as expected along with a propane stove, percolator and some other Goodwill bound items. It didn't have the original hooks, flatware, or papertowel rack (not sure how useful thoes are as they never seemeed to be mentioned in reviews.

Any way started to tinker around with packing it last night and can see with a little creativity it can hold a lot of gear-but if you are not choosey I can see it getting heavy really quickly! Anyway it is nicely done.

If anyone has ideas for packing, what fits, etc they would be well received.

this the same box that L.L. Bean sells for a buck sixty-five, new? https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/73809?feat=8281-plalander

Not the same box, but NRS sells a lot of things with overlap in this and several outdoor communities.

Worth checking out.
