I am in a bit of a quandary. Last November I was put on oxygen for just about everything but sitting still. It is due mainly to COPD. As a result I am wondering if I will be able to continue to operate the motorhome. Driving is no problem and all inside tasks can be assisted with oxygen therapy as I have a portable concentrator as well as small tanks for short trips. The part worrying me the most is doing all the hookups of the toad and at a campsite. It doesn't take much to get me huffing and puffing without oxygen and having to take a break. I am wondering how others in the same situation handle this. I hate to consider selling the coach as the wife and all of our pets love to take short trips in the area as well as maybe one long distance trip a year. In addition, any RV makes for excellent backup accommodation in case of an emergency at home such as fire/flood/loss of power.
About the only idea I can come up with for outside tasks is to take either a small tank or my portable concentrator outside and hook up a 25 or 32 ft hose to it to give me walk around room. Other than hooking up the electric, I know of no open flame or spark problems with hooking up the water and sewer or opening the awnings etc. Is there anyone who may be in the same situation that could give me some idea of how they handle the situation. Thanks.
