Any had one of their solar panels? I can't see what the rating is, is it good value for money?

this was the best video review, Rob...

looks good enough for me rather than using a swag - chuck a groundsheet under it, and pull the Aldi (Powerful 4x4) awning out over the top
Thanks Drew.  I'm a bit deterred by his mention of condensation.  I use an old ridge pole type double skinned 2 man tent and it's a very dry tent inside and out, although it does require a few pegs, poles and ropes.

i picked up at set of these panels today. the box say max output 6.7 amps i think. i had them set up on a really cloudy day but pointing towards the sun and i was still getting 4 amps so that seemed pretty good to me. not that i have anything to base it against. first set of panels. also picked up the toilet today. haven't used it but checked it over and seems really well built for the price.

needless to say i'm not in the good books with the wife   ???

10 out of 10 for the sleeping bags.
Brilliant.

grabbed the rechargable shower and the mozzie net.

Plan is to cut the mozzie net up to make a tailgate curtain for the half an 80 trailer.

Perhaps us Aldi tragics are more gullible than the average shopper:

If its the one with a hood and fold under legs? Pic?....   I bought one of them from Aldi a few years back and found it pretty average; eventually had to chuck it...... ...

The one I had sat on a table  (no stand)....   So, similar in other ways; but hopefully things have advanced and got better in the meantime. ...

. i was hoping for something to chuck in the camper, it would have to come with plates not grills for me to be interested.
i would probably only use the stand at home.

Have a look at the ziggy  (bbq galore).....   a much better option for circa +$100 imo  ...  yes extra dosh ... but over 5 good years of use = $20pa

I'm going to grab one.  Friends got one last year and use it heaps.  Exact same model at BBQ galore is $490.  Search landmann pantera.  I'm sure the Ziggy if better for the twin burner model you're looking at more than double.

Seems pretty good. Do they have plates or grills?

Well I'm going to assume they are one and the same.
Looking at two photos side by side apart from the colour of the lid, sticker and front drape they are the same.
Definitely a bargain if you are after one

From the catalogue, it states "Cast iron enamelled grill and hotplate", so i would assume half half. At that price Im going to try and hunt one down.
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
