Hey, Fergie--great hack!!!

I have a homemade one on my blog but your is a much more elegant solution.

You CAN travel with that. You can use a Command hook, and remove it when you leave the hotel without damage to the wall.

I still like my hose above my head when we travel. I carry dozens of rubber bands and elastic head bands. These can be chained together and hung on the edge of a tall headboard, wall mounted lamp, etc to hold my hose. Works great.

If you don't feel like sourcing out the parts or whatever try this:

It's from Sleepguy, a CPAPtalk member and a good guy all around. He sells many clever low-priced products for CPAP users.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

for only 5x the cost! I'd agree he sells many clever products, but low priced? not even close.

On a professional conference, I forgot to pack my "hose tree", but a trip to the dollar store
yielded clear package tape and hair scrunchies.
Problem solved!

Thanks for your comment and compliment. I like your rubber band idea for traveling.
