This is the type of device I use as even a single Mossie would wreak havoc on me. I think I got mine on Amazon or eBay as it will use both liquid bottle or tablets and I prefer the liquid.

The power consumption is negligible in the truck as far as I can see.
Tablets are only about 10p each anyway and I see the tablet only type on sale in many services and truck stops in Europe.
In my experience mossies only seem to come out as dusk falls and really calm down after a few fours of darkness. They don’t seem to like flying in breezy conditions however very shaded dull areas and or stagnant water are always high risk.
So when parked I always plug in my gizmo at dusk, go for dinner and am happy to sleep with my windows fairly open for the night as long as the gizmo is working.
Likewise for holidays, I would never leave home without the 220v versions and I haven’t been bitten for years.
Jungle Formula or Boots equivalent is required for enjoying a few sundowners outdoors forever. I don’t care for the smell or feel of it but risking a bite is not an option for me.
As well as all the good advice already posted I tend to just carry a tube of Hydrocortisone cream because it can help almost all ailments including insect bites.
Apparently anti-histamine tablets are good to make you sleepy if you want to kill 2 birds with one stone.
