New DME supplier and CPAP Recommendations

All, My trusty ResMed s9 is throwing a message that states is it past its life expectancy. Did a new home sleep study with Own Sleep Medicine. I loved my s9, but they do not offer any ResMed products stating quality control issues with the brand as of late. My first question, is that what people are...

Re: My Camping Battery Box

I just bought a smaller battery for shorter camp outs. I bought a 18 AH SLA Battery that weighs 11.9 pounds. The other one, in my original post, is so big and heavy that I find myself not wanting to take it on shorter camp outs. Most of the Boy Scout camp outs I go on are 1 and 2 nights and I find m...

Re: My Camping Battery Box

I leave mine in the garage when not in use attached to my charger, but storing in the house is probably better as the temperature is more constant than my garage. Make sure to follow the manufacturers charging maintenance for your specific battery. I am supposed to charge mine every two months when ...

Re: My Camping Battery Box

Glad to hear you are back to monthly camping. We just got back from 10-day summer camp and I did have to charge towards the end as it was unseasonably warm and I used my fan a lot at night and during daytime naps. Did you use my setup or the Arkpak? Thank you all very much for the information! I sto...

Re: My Camping Battery Box

A fellow camping dad just bought a different setup. It is expensive, but has everything one would need for an extended "car" camping experience (with electronics, fans and CPAP) all packed nicely into the box including an inverter and charger built in. All you have to do is buy the battery. It is ca...

My Camping Battery Box

Project I wanted to put together a battery box for Scout car camping for use with my Resmed S9. I camp about 10 times per year. Goals 1. My longest camp is summer camp at 10 days, and wanted to build a box that would last with 1 or 2 charges during that period. I think with my current setup, depend...
