Re: AND ANOTHER Camping battery question,....

Thats what I thought.

Just trying to check options.
Solar panels would be best but they are $$$
hard to justify that cost for something done maybe once a year.

may just have to suck it up and buy the 2-35AH batteries.

Re: Nasal mask better for side sleeper?

Nasal pillows +1

had a head cold last night. was wondering if I would need to pull out the torturous FFM so I could sleep with nostrils playing tag on which would stay open.

Slept fine.

BiPAP pressure was enough to keep 'em open and clear.

Re: Which One Of These Masks Do You Recommend?

second the return insurance.

The site I bought my Brevida from offered full refund/exchange 30 days at no extra cost.
I liked the mask so I kept it.
I have since switched to the Dreamwear but its nice to know the Brevida is sealed in my nightstand if I ever have problems.

Re: Air Travel

This thread is full of reading comprehension failure and full of my own writing failure too, not making things clear. I mean really, who would throw away the carry case the PAP machine came in? of course I'll be using it. ziplock bags to keep TSA cooties off my stuff. NOT CHECKING BAGS! (third time ...
