Cold Weather Camping with CPAP

Post by alanten » Sun Jun 07, 2009 8:17 pm

I have used my Remstar Pro M with a battery kit succesfully this spring while camping. However, we camp all year long and my Remstar manual says the machine is for use at 40F and above only. Does anyone out there have experience using CPAP at freezing or below?

My ResMed Autoset II worked well at temperatures from 30 to 40 degrees F last weekend. It does generate a little of its own heat. Perhaps that was enough.
