Been having issues waking during the night for the last couple of years off and on, well more like floating up to awareness level and not really sleeping deeply. AHI has been ok, minimal Hypopnea's (yeah, i'm lucky, don't seem to have CA's or OA's), just the lack of deep sleep and waking up tired and not feeling "refreshed".

Had a chat to my clinician and she suggested i drop my exhale pressure and guess what.....look at the charts! I'm now sleeping all night apart from the dogs making me get up at 5 AM to rescue a hedgehog this morning. Waking up and feeling great, refreshed and like I've had a decent sleep. Long may it continue

There are lots of reasons why you might be sleeping better in the RV, but it would be nice to know if it has anything to do with the settings on the different machines. Your old machine is really outdated and should be replaced with something newer. I've found a lot of good deals on craigslist.

By the way, the native power source for Respironics machines is 12 volts dc. If you run with the humidifier off you'll get a lot more battery life.

are the pressure settings for the two machines the same or different?

have you tried sleeping with the remstar in the house recently to determine whether sleeping better / worse is due to a difference in machine capabilities vs environmental factors (mattress, light/dark, noise level, pets, whatever)?
