Hi shortytree, all I can say is that I knew a lady who’s late husband needed oxygen and she used to book caravan holidays once or twice a year. She always checked that the caravans were oxygen compatible and had some great holidays.
Good luck to you xxxx
I would take advice from the hospital. It would greatly depend on the percentage of oxygen used and flow rate. Oxygen becomes dangerous when concentrated. Obviously you husband will take his oxygen via mask and any oxygen that goes into the atmosphere will be greatly reduced and should not be anywhere near a level that could cause danger. I am sure when you go to the hospital they will be able to give a difinative answer.
