Recommendations for a travel CPAP
O.K., the auto went to Alaska with me this summer, and on a couple of weekend trips. But I think I would like a second machine that would be more travel-friendly. So what do you-all recommend? At this point I am undecided as to a humidifier, I could probably do without for a weekend trip.

If you have electricity - I just got the Resmed S8 ELite II - very tiny machine. Love it. May be to expensive as a back up machine only.

Re: Recommendations for a travel CPAP
Well my thought on this is that you need to try using your machine at home without a humidifier for a few nights, close to the same time that you will be traveling. I did that, and quickly made the decision that I would not ever want to risk the experience by banking on "probably being able to do without for a weekend trip." It was Rough.
