I, too, was wondering about flexible solar, and whether they had gotten over their early problems. But the I figured if they had you all would be using them.
I also wonder about car washes. I asked about this in an old thread once, and people gave me flak for not hand washing my rig. I do make sure it gets a good scrubdown once or twice a year, but when I've been driving dirt roads and want to stay a bit at an rv park to use their laundry and electricity, it seems only polite to stop at the car wash on the way into town.
Will I gave to forego this, with solar, or can it be made carwash-proof?
