When traveling just put a little water bottle by your nightstand. (you can buy at most any hotel, some have courtesy free ones ) quick and easy to pour more in. I have the 11 but I don't like much humidity but I do have to refill it every few days instead of once or twice a week like the 10 and I a...

Yeah, small water tanks seem to be an endemic problem. I built my own auto refilling system for my dreamstation that fills itself when it gets to low.

I think I won't EVEN ask how you did that.

Try backing down the humidity setting to see how low you can go and still feel its benefits. My AS10 is set to 3 and I've been OK with that and still have water in the tank in the morning. I'll have to go find it in the menu -- I find Resmed menus confusing. My main thing is waking up with the back...

Expensive, but there are automatic refill devices: google CSpring MK3 Automatic CPAP Refilling System. I've seen people online who have made their own, the simplest use a rodent water bottle. I still have an Aircurve 10 which holds enough water, the smaller reservoir on the 11 is a common complaint...

If you continue to need to add water during the night what about getting a spare water chamber and having it ready on the night table for quick insertion in the middle of the night???

That's a good thought -- but it will be a nuisance to carry that extra chamber while traveling.

Finally got around to unpacking the Aircurve 11 (Resmed ASV) and setting it up. Hm, it has a heated hose. Never had one of those before. Wonder if I should leave it naked or put a hose cover on it? And how often do I need to replace it? Oh, ye freakin' deities. That water chamber is going to drive m...

I have this: https://a.co/d/d8Gewi7 It gives me a full night (without humidifier) on a charge, and you can charge it by wall outlet, plugging into the car cigarette lighter, or if you have a solar panel (solar panel does NOT come with the $99 version). You can buy larger ones with more power. No no...

Well, not having to select a clip, upload it to Imgur or similar, and etc. is a worthy thing.

be kind of hard to take the whole house generator camping. Well, yeah... unfortunately, an auto-accident in 2017 put paid to my camping days. Not to mention hiking. I'm headed for Canada next summer and weep when I think of all the beautiful trails I could be doing.... But I did one hurricane witho...

Use Oscar instead https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ and SleepHQ if you want folks to look at the complete night's data. Thank you for the link. I'll pop over and snag a copy. Oh, blast, I need to get the proper manual, too. When I got my 950, the DME mis-set it to an EPAP of 6, and a MinPS of 10 an...

Pugsy, Why is it the manufacturer's software always appears to be a PITA since Respironics discontinued the patient version of Encore? I actually liked that, and was able to figure out how my machine needed to be set. I remember when I first got my Beastie, and the Pain Management Doc who diagnosed ...

Coming up on 17 years using a Respironics Bilevel ASV. Tomorrow, my new RESMED ASV 11 arrives.... I haven't used software for years because Encore was such a PITA, and I was sleeping quite well. But I almost feel as if I ought to keep an eye on the new Resmed for a few weeks until I'm sure of the wa...

Got it.
Thanks for the link, Kira - and wishing you a successful trip!

We started planning this trip in 2004. Next summer SHOULD have been our 50th anniversary. So I'm going and just hope Harry can se it all through my eyes.

This is the one my daughter bought me. She spent several weeks in Europe out of her little carry-on , did a lot of research before she went and said this kind was what was most recommended and what worked well for her. https://a.co/d/58HnAxb That looks like a very nice case, and would definitely ke...

Ozij, I can't do backpacks... my back won't tolerate them. Otherwise I know of a great one which I gifted a friend for her birthday. My friend loves this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ6DWVDR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 I want a single case because I only have two hands. I ...
