Explosion. Possible. Unlikely.

As to heavy concentrator. There are models as light as 32 pounds but

regardless, here is my answer. Find someone strong. It sounds facetious

but I'm not being. I've stayed at dozens of hotels and with multiple

sets of relatives. I've never had a problem getting equipment in and out

(often reservoir which is much heavier). Whether it was the desk help at

a small hotel or bellman at larger or cousin or whomever. At my 76 year

old aunt's house, her son (my cousin) ran over to take it in. As one who

never use to ask for any help, all the adjustment I had to make was to

change that. I even asked a perfect stranger outside a hotel in Snyder

Texas for a little help one morning.

Bill,

First of all I always leave a couple of windows cracked when I leave spare tanks in my car. I don't know that it's necessary but I do it all the same. Your tanks won't explode, oxygen is not an explosive gas so you can put that worry out of your head.

I've been on oxygen 24/7 for almost 3 years and I travel by car frequently. I use a concentrator at home and compressed O2 tanks when I'm out and about. Overnight I must have the concentrator. As you said, the tanks don't last long enough to get through the night. So I take a concentrator with me and roll it, lug it, push it, shove it wherever it needs to be. I ask for help. This is the key and it's been the hardest thing for me to learn.

If I'm visiting family, someone brings the concentrator in the house for me. If I'm at a hotel so far I've been able to manage by myself. My concentrator weighs about 40 pounds and I'm able to manueuver it in and out of the back seat of my car. After that I can roll it where it needs to be. I have asked for help on occasion and someone is always willing. I've even been approached in the parking lot by folks asking me if I need help. I never say no anymore.

I've never attempted to get my machine up a flight of stairs. That is a task for one of my brothers or brothers in law. It's not that we can't travel. It's that we have to travel differently than we have in the past. Life is not over, it's just different!

Hi Bill, I keep M6 tanks in my car.. 3 or 4 at all times. I live in Florida and have never had a problem. we try to remember to crack a window. I have been doing this for almost 5 years. I used to worry about it too but not anymore. I have made a few trips to Tn and to Texas and the trunk had 6 tanks and my concentrator in the back seat. We call my 02 supplier and have themorder ever how many tanks I need for our stay, They deliver to our hotel or my daughters house then I swap the tanks and travel home with full tanks.I don't know if everybody knows you can do that. Where ever you travel you can swap out your empty tanks for the full ones. Size for size. I have been told that by several 02 Co's. Like Beth said our lives are just lived in a different way.. get OUT and GO..

I was looking over the website and I found the pictures. I noticed that you were

in some pictures. I thought you were on liquid. Your oxygen tank looks like my

Helios. I have a small one and a large one. I use them both depending on where

I go. As for over nights I have to carry my reservoir with me. I have been

told that it weights 165 lbs. I have a mini van and my husband is strong man.

It is difficult but it can be done. We load it and go. I don't really have a

point I was just commenting. Take care,

I'm on a concentrator at home and compressed tanks when I'm out. I'm not sure which photo you're referring to but except for one brief try with liquid I've always used a concentrator and tanks.

I know that Bruce has a smaller more portable resevoir in his van. I think he said it weighs 50 pounds or so. Much more manageble than 165! You might want to ask your O2 provider if they have something like that.

Beth, 50 lbs sounds a lot better than 165. My husband thanks you. My O2

carrier used to be Dependicare but I switched to Lincare. They have been great.

I was told from Dependicare that I could not have more than one tank unless I

was traveling and then it would be delivered to me. I could not keep it at my

house. I will have to check with Lincare. The pictures are the ones in the photo

files. You look great. As soon as I can figure this out I will post some of my

own pics. How come all of my reply's are at the bottom of the message and

everyone else s are on top? Have I told you that I don't know much about

computers...lol. Any help will be appreciated.

> > I wasn't on oxygen last summer so a lot of this is new to me. I'm

out and about a lot and I've been leaving a spare filled tank in the

car, along with the larger, roll-around size in case I'm going to be

staying someplace for awhile. The temperature here in northeast PA has

been in the mid-90s this week. If I leave those tanks in the locked and

closed car, is there a chance of one exploding? Another question: If

you're visiting someplace overnight and on " nocturnal oxygen " , what's

the easiest way? The big tanks run out and the concentrator is pretty

heavy to lug up and down my stairs, especially up. Thanks.
