Are non-orientable manifolds necessarily compact?
-1
If not, what is an example of a non-compact, open manifold that is non-orientable? So if non-orientability $Rightarrow$ compactness, is there a theorem and what is the proof?

True. I think was also asking for, assuming one exists, is an example of a non-orientable manifold that is not totally bounded.

@MrX: I'm not sure what that means for a general topological manifold. How about gluing an infinitely long boundaryless ribbon to your Möbius strip at right angles?
