Hi All, well my Respronics M series just died on me. They say it's going to be 3-4 weeks for warranty work. I need to find a replacement today so I'm looking at going the travel route as I camp quite a bit a battery operated one would be nice. Any reccomendations?? I have to get one quick, I'm so tired!!!!

call cpap.com and get one overnighted. If you do a lot of camping it is wise to have a 2nd machine anyway, should one die you have a backup.

I found it is not wise to take your main machine camping, get campfire smoke in it and you may never get it out. It's always nice knowing that when you return from a trip your trusty cpap machine is setting there at home ready to go.

If you got it from a Brick and Mortar DME they should provide you with a rental until yours comes back. Medicare and most insurances will pay the rent on a loaner. It will most likely be a bear bones leaf but it will work until you get yours back.

Did you buy it outright or did you get it from a DME? If the latter call your DME and they should be able to give you a loaner until yours is fixed.
