First camping trip. Ugh.

Use the longer ten foot hose, then you could put more of it in the bag prewarming the air. Jim

There were no extra parts inside mine. Where you trying to run the humidifier?

I have the Respironics battery also and I have been trying to figure out how to warm the air in the passover mode. Don't know if this would work but I called the aussie hose people and asked about running the hose on battery. It's an expensive option but this is what they said.

G'Day Eileen from Australia " down under"

The heated hose as standard will operate from a 12 volt DC source eg
battery " no problems" you can use aligator type battery clips
you would need to have a simple lead made up for connection ... any
elec
supplier eg "Radio Shack" could advise you
The power use is 11 Watts /hr

Hope this helps

In that case, when running directly from a 12V battery supply, you need to allow approx one Amp Hour (1 AH) of battery capacity for every hour you use the heated hose, or an additional 7 to 8 AH per night above whatever power your xPAP blower draws.

Cheers,

Bill

Here's the battery I'm hooking up to ($54 from Pep Boys)

Thanks for any clues.

Here's the manual for the Respironics branded-cord:

Answering my own question, it's a straight-through cord, available from Radio Shack. The Radio Shack cord comes with several AdaptaPlugs, but not the correct one, which is AdaptaPlug "N" (connected as a positive tip). The Radio Shack cord also comes with a 2A fuse which needs to be replaced with a 3A fuse (possibly a quick-blow, but I'm not sure).

Apparently the reason is didn't work for me is that my Remstar Auto won't work on 12V at pressures above 11cm, so when I get home today I'm going to reprogram it and try again. I'll post here if that doesn't work.
