    Is there a Doctor in the house?

    Don, Yes, it is a good idea to have it checked. I broke a vertebrae one time and did not know it, except for some back pain. Found out later, after it healed. I was lucky. The back of the head is very delicate. Roller skated recently on ship, and I fell once. Gave me some sore ribs. They made everyone wear protective equipment, and there were no walls. When I fell, I heard my helmet hit the floor. Thank goodness I had it. I'm 72.

    Appreciate your concerns, been there. Been using PAP machines for almost a year, started with CPAP and then BIPAP. BIPAP

    is more natural, high pressure inhale and lower exhale. Have taken machines on cruises to Greece, NE/Canada and Caribbean.

    Cruise lines provide distilled water. Took machine to motorcycle rally in Alabama and was surprised to find out how many

    others use them. Used different masks and sizes before I found the right combination. Full face mask with memory

    foam cushion works best for me. My events per hour are in the lower single digits. Find breathing gets easier with time.

    Try to sleep at least 7 hours per night and make only one or two bathroom trips per night. This gives me ResMed scores

    of 100 or 99 on the ResMed Web site.

     

    ResMed AirCurve 10 VAUTO (BIPAP)

    ResMed AirTouch F20 Full Face Mask

     

    These strap covers reduce strap marks on your cheeks.

    Auxilliary Fuel Tank Venting - RSV with Hannigan Conversion

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    More than one Hannigan owner has told me they gets leaks on the floor if they fill the auxiliary tank. Bet everyone has leak at the same spot. This band clamp is right below the fill cap. The band clamp below it is tight, so hose is not going anywhere. Yes, only putting 4 gallons avoids spills, but it doesn't get rid of smell or evaporation. Afraid if I tighten clamp then I will get tank damage or impact fuel transfer to main tank. Need to talk with Hannigan, but I'm ready to go on a trip and don't want to do this right now. Set clamp back the way it's been for 10 years. The more folks I hear from the more I'm convinced Hannigan did this on purpose.

    Auxilliary Fuel Tank Venting - RSV with Hannigan Conversion

    Looking for some help understanding the venting of the auxiliary fuel tank on a Hannigan conversion. If I fill the auxiliary fuel tank on a hot day, gas expands and spills near right, rear wheel. Noticed today that filler pipe attaches to neck of tank with a radiator type hose. Upper band clamp was hand tight, and this is where fuel leaks. Bottom band clamp is very tight. Tightened the upper clamp today to stop the leaks, but now concerned about where fuel will expand since I removed this outlet. Is there some other venting. Does anyone know? Thanks!
