Hi All,  It's been 2 yr now since by brother started using Nxstage.  He is going to tackle his first trip with it soon and I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has traveled by train with the Nxstage machine.  Thanks

We have not traveled by train but have by plane and car.  It was really no big deal as long as you are prepared to deal with all the supplies and a little advance planning.  I always bag up the ancillary supplies (such as needles, syringes, gloves, etc) with what is needed for each day's run in individual zip loc bags and take 2 extra days worth.   Then I also have a small basket with the things like thermometer, anti bacterial gel, tape and clamps that are used every day.  We have a small folding table that is just the right size to hold the machine and will support the weight of it and the bags. 

I wish him good luck and happy travels.
