What's the best way to set up oxygen therapy equipment in an RV?
We recently received the following inquiry from Freda K. Do any of you have suggestions which can help her and others requiring oxygen therapy travel easier and safer in their RVs with their equipment?
Dear RV Travel,
I think as our RVing membership ages, more and more folks need supplemental oxygen to maintain a quality lifestyle. But trying to find good information on how the adventurous manage concentrators and oxygen tanks is very limited, especially for those requiring more O2 than the nice little portable concentrators can provide. Information on how to set up an RV for traveling with O2 is just not out there -- like where and how to secure the equipment, including a large concentrator, oxygen tanks for use while driving, a liquid oxygen tank and spare tanks. I am sure if more people knew how to travel in an RV with their oxygen, theirs lives would improve greatly.
Thank you,
Freda K.

'Tailgaters Die First," his bumper sticker would read
Dear editor,
I have driven a full size pick-up truck for work for many years and have often thought about a bumper sticker that may help reduce one of many traffic hazards.
Driving in the early morning hours I had found some cars approaching me from the rear and suddenly could not see their headlights in my rear view mirror but could see the lights glow off to my sides. I wanted to find out just how far behind me when the headlights deciphered from view. I found that they would have to have been within five feet of my bumper and traveling at highway speeds.
People don’t realize just how dangerous tailgating is. I was traveling at 65 mph when I saw traffic cones ahead and dropped my speed by five mph to a rate of 60. I suddenly felt a bump from the rear and found that a young woman had tried to drive under my bumper pealing her hood back to the windshield. My truck suffered minor bumper damage. No one was injured this time.
The bumper sticker that I would like to find would say “Tailgaters Die First.” What would look good with a bumper sticker like this would be a car cashing into the rear of a pick-up with the car’s front end crunched in.
If you find one like that, Please let me know.
