I bought the large tarp, add a few ropes, perfect for a camper cover. For only $30 it was way cheaper than a caravan cover and it will probably last just as long. Might get another one for when the UV kills this one.

Hoyts, the Aldi at Acacia ridge had a few of the mallet's left this afternoon.
I had a thought that maybe it wasn't a huge trip for you?

Around 1.5 hrs for me. $30 of fuel for a $5 mallet, probably not worth it, but thanks.

There were a few left here at Forster yesterday... If there are and left tomorrow, I'll grab one and mail it to to you in return from a couple of the freebies from the giveaway thread I've been lucky to get

Mighty kind of you Drew. How long you in Forster for? I'll be passing through on the 13th.

If you haven't gone in yet, then don't worry about it. I'l live without it.

Coming up on Sat 9 Feb

https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-caravanning-coming-soon/

We got on eof the van covers last year & it's great - keeps all the garbage off the van, is waterproof so you can leave windows & hatches ajar, but lets enough sunlight through that the roof solar panel still charges

I looked at that too... The snippet doesn't indicate though, if it's 12v or 240v rechargeable.

FWIW, the little 12v rechargeable one they had available at XMAS works a treat. Used it on the way back from Melb camped beside a creek full of mozzies. Bloody brilliant.

Fizzie · « **Reply #361 on:** January 31, 2019, 08:12:03 AM »

The Cattledog just says what's online + "Up to 8 hours use on full charge", but not how it's charged

Just asked the question elsewhere so we'll see if anyone knows

I have had a look at other same looking but branded different , "comes with battery charger " is mentioned on one site . So I would assume that it is 240 volt plug in charger .

wakychapmans · « **Reply #363 on:** January 31, 2019, 08:49:22 AM »

the one I got at XMAS, from Aldi for $19.95, is also available from:

Aussie Disposals https://www.aussiedisposals.com.au/hi-country-2-in-1-mosquito-zapper-lantern for $39.95

or Jaycar https://www.jaycar.com.au/mosquito-zapper-with-180-lumen-led-lantern/p/YS5544 for $29.95.

Asked the question on another forum & got this back

"looks the same as this one. doesn't mention charging but as it's portable I reckon 12V. Little black thing looks like a 12v port

https://bugzapperlamps.com.au/product/bug-sentinel-bug-zapper-portable-rechargeable-cordless/"

Does say "rechargeable design also makes this bug zapper a good choice for camping and caravan trips" so you'd "think" 12V

Can't see any mention of sizes anywhere, but unless those in-use photos are photo-chopped (& they look like they could be

) then it's quite a big unit

Also makes reference to Bunnings, but can't see anything for it on their site

owners manual, assuming that it's the same one, makes no mention of 12v charging. Only 240v.

CHARGING THE BUG ZAPPER
• Turn the ON/OFF dial to the OFF position.
• Plug the adaptor into the port on the bug zapper and into the 240-volt wall socket.
• Charge for 8 hours or until the indicator light above the dial illuminates to indicate
the battery is fully charged.
• Turn ON/OFF dial into ON position to activate the zapper.
• IMPORTANT: The bug zapper UV light will not operate when on charge.

USING THE AC-DC Adaptor
• Turn dial to OFF.
• Plug AC-DC adaptor into the charging port of the bug zapper.
• Plug the other end into any standard 240-volt wall outlet.

I can recommend the little cookware set, all we use in our camper, cleans up beautifully and packs up inside the largest saucepan.

duggie · « **Reply #369 on:** January 31, 2019, 07:50:20 PM »

There is a rumor that Aldi may be coming to Cairns , either in the Ex masters building or the old ex bunnings store .

Same here. Friends of ours asked where we got it from when they borrowed a pot from us. I have sent the link to them for this sale.

Thanks for all the comments.
I reckon that bug zapper will be 240vt rechargeable?..
Will know soon....

Saw the camping ironing board in the catalogue...
That's going to be a big seller..
haha...

IMHO a UV bug zapper won't attract or kill 1 mozzie.

They may get the odd unlucky 1 or 2 as mozzies are attracted to carbon dioxide and water vapor not UV light. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_zapper.
The mozzie traps that I have seen all use CO2 as the attractant primarily through the use of a gas cylinder.

I got one too on the weekend. Cooked up a curry in it last night, worked as it should and cleaned up easily. Happy with it so now I can swap it out for the heavy cast iron stuff I have been using. Love the removable handles, packs up well with no long handles getting in the road and taking up valuable space..
