I keep my lantern and stove in the MH. I use the stove every trip but I find the mantles on the lantern crumble during travel so I rarely use it any more. I still have leather cups and other parts from a WW2 lantern I had. The stove requires a lot of maintenance lantern not as much.

You can try something that has worked for me, after I use the lantern and it has cooled off I spray the mantles with hairspray. It works to make them a bit less susceptible to movements and a bit more sturdy

I would never have thought of that, I will have to try that one. I store my lantern in the basement storage area in the rear right next to the rear tires, and the pot holes and frost heaves in the NE causes a lot of vibration.
