Hi All

Has anyone had any experience with the strength of the 10L collapsible bucket for $34-95 from Caravan Pro ?  Is the handle strong enough when full ?

Thanks

We bought one of these - www.snowys.com.au/Camp-Kitchen/Cookware/Collapsible-Bucket.aspx absolutely useless. It's probably OK for transporting liquid or powders from A to B but the mop doesn't fit in it and if its being used to store water while washing the car or the van or something it collapses into itself at the slightest touch and spills the water all over the place. Waste of $30.

I bought a couple on eBay and carry them as spares. Haven't used them yet. I forget how much they were but nothing like $30.

We bought two from Aldi - can't remember what we paid for them but it wasn't $30 odd, more like $15. We use them for washing undies when free camping and they haven't been a problem. Brenda.
