Hello
I am trying to get information from anyone who currently goes caravanning and has to use an 'oxygen concentrator'.
My wife has recently (in the past few days) been sent home from hospital and now needs a constant oxygen supply (nothing to do with COVID-19). This is being done via an oxygen concentrator machine with additional apparatus for filling oxygen bottles for use whilst out and about. We are on a VERY steep learning curve here believe me as she was up until a few weeks ago fit and healthy.
The supplying company on behalf of SNHS can supply a portable machine for if we go on holiday, but it is a real faff and you need to book weeks in advance. We intend to carry on life as normally as possible and carry on caravanning as much as possible and are therefore researching purchasing a suitable portable oxygen concentrator for her. The machine needs to be able to deliver continuous flow for nighttime and pulse delivery during the day.
I have a couple in mind that are small enough to be carried around during the day but also provide the therapy for nighttime.
One being Phillips Respironics SimplyGo, the other being Eclipse5.
I would like to speak to anyone who actually does go caravanning with one of these or similar. I have also asked on other caravan forums (forae/fora?), but am yet to find anyone who actually goes caravanning with their own oxygen machine.
So if YOU are using oxygen whilst caravanning or know of anyone who does can you please give me a shout.
Thanks
KH
