Glad everything worked out for you. The Burbank Apria is where I picked up my equipment.

Note for next time: keep power cords, brick and extension cords in the travel machine case. I never take mine out of there. It stays packed with my travel machine.

Some of us still have only one machine so I can see it would be easy to leave at home. A second machine is on my wish list!

I forgot my power cord for a trip in October. First time I had tried to sleep without the machine in 6 years Not a very good night of sleep for me. We were in Shenandoah Nat'l Park and no supplier or cords were going to be available. Drove back home 500 miles the following day rather than extending the trip.

Just curious how much the replacement cord set you back $$

I can see a second machine being more of an expense but perhaps you can get a second cord/brick to keep in your travel bag so you don't have to disconnect your home set up and then you can't forget the spare cord because it is already packed.

Hi,

If you're anywhere near a Fry's, they'd probably have a suitable replacement cord as well. The "brick" end is common for electronic devices. Bring the power supply to make sure they can help you find a cord.

Good idea. Might prevent ruining your trip. I do carry a 12 volt plug and battery pack that I recharge in my vehicle or motel. But this limits my humidifer use, so a second plug and power cord would be nice to keep packed.

If you are a PR 60 series user you might consider purchasing a heated hose kit ... $75 from our host. This would give you a heated hose if you don't have one ... and if you do a spair hose and a new power supply ... then you could leave the other one in your travel bag.
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!
