After a couple of days under canvas, matches always seem to get damp - irrespective of what container I've used to put them in. Get the smallest clip-lock type box (£1.00 from Asda) with a handful of Silica Gel crystals in. Indicator grade is ideal. Pop in match box - no more problems. Bung crystals in oven when you get home to revitalise! Can be used many times over.
------------- Who put the overalls is Mrs Murphy's Chowdah ?
Whether I got a bad batch of disposable lighters or not I don't know, but I went down that road a while ago. Failing to spark when damp, leakers/half filled ones straight out of the packet, burnt thumb/fingers lighting meths stoves, Tilley Lamps etc.when lighter is near horizontal etc. Quite a few went into low earth orbit rapido. Hence the return to the humble match!

My number one buy is a trug:
1.Used as bath for our 1 year old.
2. Holds all toiletries, towels etc for me and the kids and can be put on the floor if not enough hooks etc.
3. I carry all the washing up in it to the washing up area. Don't like washing up in the caravan and my washing up bowl is too tiny to carry it all in.
Also attached 2 of those Kampa short poles with hooks on to my shower curtain rail in the van, with cable ties so now have somewhere to hang all our towels.
A quick blast in the morning with the heating just on in the bathroom, seems to dry them all within about 1/2 hour.
Also bought us all one of those small swimming towels from decathlon (like a chamois leather) to get the worst of the wet off after a shower.
