Pale rider: Ive read quite a bit before posting my question, done the home work before hand, didnt see what I was looking for. Tedvpvap: I have a power inverter (which seems to be the death of 2 heaters,but cpap has done fine) and have 12volt cigarette lighter outlets in my bunk, so do have choices....

Im having to upgrade from my trusty old remstar, its 15 years old (HOW OLD IS IT ???) and still working great, just cant get info from the card to down load for my D.O.T. health cert, want to stay with resmed or respironic brands, will be used in a 18 wheeler .

All advice/opinions appreciated.

I was just curious as to how many truck drivers/travelers are on CT & what ya'll might be using(also the pros/cons of your set up), have an appointment with the DR this week & am hoping to get something a little more travel friendly than my 12 year old machine. Also what kind of power inverter are y...

Thanks for the replies, for the most part my camping trips a 4x4, atv or motor cycle is the mode of transportation, but the camp sites are remote & to far out for electricity, I like to travel light & stay as long as possible so a battery or rechargable set up would be perfect.

I'd love to have a CPAP for off grid camping, not in a RV or luxury cabin but no electricity in a tent camping, who has what & what are the pros & cons & would you buy the same CPAP again ??

Thanks in advance.

PM sent.

Thanks for the great responses, only way I would buy from someone was to pick it up at the place of residence, so I can try & get a scence of the sellers honesty & to get some insight as to how it may have been kept up, filthy house = no sale.

Call me picky but I dont care.

I have noticed used CPAP & APAP machine for sale on sevral sites for very reasonable prices, most say they have been used very little or never used & some will post hours used, prices run anywher from $150 to $700. Even with insurence I can buy used cheaper, just curious if anyone has tried secondha...

Wow, I've never heard of these things, floaters...flashes of light...detatched retena ??

Do these have something to do with sleep apnea or what ??? (Its just that I've never heard of this & am curious)

"Sleep another hour without the mask."...curious...why ?? just need a break from it or what ??

I'm all about a nap given the chance, kids leave, take the phone off the hook & stretch out just because I can get away with it , good stuff it is. Always use my machine, if the "juice" goes off (electricity goes out for all you unsouthern folk) I wake up quik, sleep is not very good untill the mach...

Just curious about the hours of sleep people are getting since using the CPAP machine. Me...around the 6/7 hour mark I wake by myself & feel great,jump up, clean up, dress & out the door in 20 or so minutes, if I go back to sleep (? hour or so) it makes me feel more tired & have a harder time gettin...

I think having a tech on the forum would be a good thing, compare notes, could exchange questions, keep up with the latest/greatest findings & machinary.

I noticed you were from Tenn. mind if I ask wher you do your testing ??

Thanks for the input ya'll, I figured since todays "latest/greatest" can be obsolete in a matter of weeks it would be good to gather some food for thought, have to say some look to be much smaller, mines about the size of a microwave oven...............................................not really but...

I've had my Cflex for about 10 years now, its been absolutely bomb proof, its withstood the bumps, bruises & vibrations that a 18 wheeler can dish out with the exception of having to replace the heater (think'n my power inverter had something to do with that). Since its been 10 years I wunder if the...
