Is the heat turned up on the humidifier? The water should be warm when its on.

Good timing on this. The local paper just had an article about service dogs and turkeys

I've done a fair amount of RV'ing with respironics cpap's. I use the humidifier as a passover and I've found the gauge and length of the DC wires make a big difference. One of may trailers had the batteries at the back and my bed at the front, about 25' away. I used to get 1 night with the manufactu...

Don't be too quick to write of a full face mask. Think of it as a tool to help you adjust as It doesn't have to be permanent and they can come in handy during colds and allergy season after you switch to a smaller interface.

Hmmm, cleaning the cpap. Ten years ago I used to clean everything weekly if not daily, now not so much. In fact I not think I've ever cleaned the tank in my primary machine as I use distilled water and there is nothing to clean. My travel machine tank does have to soak periodically in a vinegar wate...

Its been a while for me but I remember this struggles. The chinstrap drove me nuts, what ended up working for me was a F&P full face mask. Even then I kept tightening the straps and the leaks were really bugging me, it wasn't until I started loosening the straps that it all started coming together. ...

Most people will say carry it on but I've put my in checked baggage a dozen or so times with no problems.

I;m with SewTired, if I were in your position, I would skip the $1k sleep study. Ask the doctor for prescription and get an auto machine from an online supplier such as our hosts. That should be in the $400 to $500 range. Then I would start zeroing on the ideal pressure, probably starting with a ran...

For 2 nights I use a battery, deep cycle if available but I've used a car battery for 2 nights without an issue as long as I don't turn on the humidifier or heated hose. I tend to sleep 6 to 7 hrs a night. I also use Respironic equipment so I don't have to deal with a 24v converter.

Are you sure you want a shorter hose? I don't move around a lot but I occasionally roll over and pull the machine with a 6 foot hose.

Just to speak to the value of the machine. Ask for $50 and settle for what ever you can get. They are tough machines but several generations out of date. I have picked up a couple that people were giving away and I paid for the shipping.

I'd use a 10 amp fuse. If you start blowing them, go with a slow blow fuse.

Isn't "Canada CPAP supply" an American company based in Florida?

I have been charged tax's a couple of times, but both times were on small orders and it wasn't worth the effort to reclaim the tax's paid. I did take it up a couple of levels with the post office and found out the front line people do not have the authority to adjust the tax payments.

My home machine is an auto, but my travel machine is straight cpap so I switch back and forth regularly with no issues.
