Thanks much to everyone for their advice. I completed the first trip and here's what happened. My company surprised me at the last minute by loading me up with additional proprietary hardware which "must not be checked, period." So my carryon load increased dramatically (at least by weight). Carryin...

I have one that a relative bought for me. I don't think it changes anything as far as sanitation, but I have to admit it does make the mask smell a little better. FWIW: I wash out my mask/hose in the shower and hang them to dry where there is ventilation. I sometimes put them into the SoClean when I...

This may seem like a dumb question, but I've never traveled with a CPAP on the airlines before. I always either fly myself (private plane) or take my RV on business travel, but this time I have to use the airlines. How do you veterans manage a CPAP machine when traveling via airlines? I don't have t...

I'd like to ask an additional question, assuming the OP doesn't mind. Does anyone put their machine in checked baggage? I don't have a travel version and occasionally I lose the fight with our company accountants and am forced onto an airline*. I typically pack my laptop deep within my larger checke...

Pay no attention to the troll with no userid. I'm not. When someone starts ragging on another's post, no useful information follows (and I skip on to the next). Yet again, I owe you guys. I've looked at my brick and it's as described. Two wires going to the unit; One (12V I assume) seems to run the...

Oops. Forgot to mention. I checked the inverter and it is a modified sine wave. That's why I decided to go with the 12V DC adapter suggested. I have two generators here at the house, one is MSW, and a smaller that's a true sine-wave. I do occasionally find electronics that aren't happy on the MSW. I...

Thanks everyone for your responses (esp. archangel for the detail, and tmiker for the specs). I've ordered the DC plug that archangel recommended from cpap.com. It should be here by next weekend and of course, I'll need to test this by spending part of the weekend on the boat at anchor ("Honest hone...

Hi everyone... newbie here. Forgive me if I've used the search feature wrong, but I can't find my particular question addressed. I'm looking for some rough estimates of usable time on a vehicle battery. I have a Respironics M series and will be powering it via a 200 Watt inverter on my boat. (I know...
