    I tried hooking my droid up to my 19" tv and watching netflix but the resolution was crap.

    Laugh if you want, but without something between my knees and to drape my arm over while sleeping I will wake up with hips, back, and neck hurting. You know you would use one if you don't already hehe

    umm im guessing you would "flush" it after each use. unless you want to be driving around with a portapotty fully loaded enjoying the smell. if so be sure to be placard on the truck for biohazard and flammable.

    Yeah but you would use it in cases where there is no bathroom, so no bathroom also means there is likely to be a water source to flush it with? Unless you carry along a ton of water on the truck?

    "flush" was meant to be referring to the trash bags you buy with the camping toilet.

    What items do you need for watching tv? Not talking sattelite or anything of that nature, tv obviously, guessing with the 110 standard plug into an inverter, what else?

    a 5 gallon bucket and trash bag also works in a pinch.

    Since we are on that subject, can those antennae pick up stations while you are driving? Of course I will never watch TV and drive, but I would like to listen to the news.
