silly question about international voltage

[Moby]

110 and 240 volts cover Western Europe and USA, right? My m/c is compatible with both those.

Is the 12V adaptor for camping?

and

Should i buy a special plug or something prior to my trip to the States? Maybe something from a camping store?

Thanks

But where are you from ???

If going to the states the usually all you need is a US power cord for your dual voltage machine.

I have lots of US machines that I run on 240 volts just by buying a local Austyralian power cord.

The 12v supply is typically for battery use.

Good luck

Moby,

Probably best to buy a plug adapter from a travel store there before you leave. It would be possible to buy a cord once you arrive, but will you have time to do that, or do you want to be able to just go to your hotel and go to sleep?

Good luck

a plug adapter kit is all that is needed, they are easy to get at most airports these day's.

For my trip to Australia, I just got a few plug adapters from Amazon.com for 3 dollars each.

Everything I was taking was dual voltage.

Moby,

I have spare US powercords, can send you one if you want. You can pay me back with a beer next time I'm sitting in Hay street mall admiring all the old original buildings while passing time on a business trip

PM me with your address n i'll have it in the mail t'morra. PS tell me what type you need, does your cpap use a 2 pin (as in Resmed S8) or 3-square pin as in desktop PC style.

Cheers
