I agree with the advice of not using a humidifier. I haven't gone out in my 5th wheel since being on cpap, but I have used a pretty cheap inverter with many things, including a computer. (I know that may not be wise, but it hasn't given me any trouble yet.) My best advice--and what has helped me out...

I was given a nasal mask when I started a few months ago, and I ended up having a bloody (literally) sore on the bottom of my nose. I ended up having to cut a bandaid in half and using that.

My DME billed over $2,600 for my equipment (almost six weeks ago); the exact same equipment costs just over $600 on cpap.com. (I bought my own Aura, as the nasal mask the DME gave me made me bleed under the nose.) I hav...
