flexible solar panels
(Preview)

Thetford porta-potti
(Preview)
Hi All, I guess this is technical. I have a new Thetford 365, how long does the napisan solution last in the bottom tank if left unused? If I carried the Thetford around for 3-4 weeks unused would it still be okay or would I have to replace solution or add a bit more napisan? Thanks

TV antenna
(Preview)
I know there's a zillion threads about caravan TV antennas on the forum but I've been checking various Wineguard models lately at fairly big bucks, plus more for installation. I'm not a TV tragic. I watch news and current affairs and that's about it... and figure I'll probably watch less on the road. S...
