What brands make propane lanterns, stoves, heaters, and accessories in America?
The accessories I'm looking for are things like propane trees and hoses, and obviously stoves, heaters, and lanterns are self explanatory. Nobody seems to talk about where things are made anymore, and in my experience that means they're NOT made in the US.
I'm going camping in three weeks and need a new lantern, and a new tree. The stove and heater perhaps this winter.
Are there any brands that still make these camping items here in the US?

I think what you are looking for is Century Camping gear. It is mostly made in USA and they have all the accessories that you are looking for. If something they sell is made elsewhere, they note the country of origin in the product specs.
Coleman still makes some stuff here but most of it is in China now. You have to check the individual box for them.
You might also want to try REI.com. They are a great camping site and their online store has a button to show only made in USA items. I tested this and found it odd that they flagged all Century Camping gear as imported when only 1 of their stoves is actually imported.
