I was just talking about that with my wife yesterday. She thinks there is a portable kind with a battery pack.

If you touch base with your supplier, they may know.

I honestly haven't even tried to sleep without it now that I have it. I would probably be okay without it for a night or 2. It sucks to pack it but it's nice to breathe. LOL
Hotel obviously isn't an issue.
Wish the battery operated ones weren't so damn pricey. I think that would be the best. I didn't really think about camping with electricity. My camping in the past was always very primitive. Camp sites that I could barely get a Jeep into. I obviously won't be doing that kind with my Road King!
Thank you all for the advice!

I haven't done a camping trip on the bike yet, and would probably just try to find a site with power. But, I did pick up a portable power pack a couple years ago just in case I end up somewhere without power. Power unit is about the size of a bible. At the time, it was the highest capacity I could find for a reasonable price. I have tested it and got 2.5 nights out of it with my Resmed Airsense. Make sure to turn your humidifier off if that is an option on your CPAP as that is a big power draw. I haven't looked too much into solar recharging, but that would also be something to consider.

Wow, that is a great find. And 2.5 nights without the humidifier is really good for something that size. Summer camping shouldn't need the humidifier anyway.

That is a good price. I too have a Resmed Airsense. I would definitely try it without the humidifier on. Honestly I have it set at 1 at home.
Thanks!

Very true about the summer camping & not needing the humidifier.
