Not sure if this should go here or in the B+ category, because still not sure if this model is a B+ or C!! Anyway, we are starting to think about downsizing, now that we are no longer full timing. ...

Dakzuki,
Yes, the unit itself has to be below head level. In the instruction book for my CPAP unit, it also warns against using an extension cord. Will go back and review that condition as well. Taking it in today to my sleep specialist, so will try to remember to ask about that as well!
I will take a closer look for outlets the next time we look at one.
Thanks
I suspect the extension cord warning is just because the manufacturer has no control over the quality of extension cords or how they are used. It is a pretty typical warning of many devices. That should not be an issue if the cord is of sufficient gauge (a CPAP can't draw that much current) and has the appropriate plug configuration.
I think your biggest issue is going to be getting the unit down low in a J or any RV with walls surrounding the bed.
One thing that could be done is punch a pass through in the wall (on a J) and put the CPAP unit on the bathroom side with the hose coming through the wall to you. Just thinking out loud.....
I just looked at mine and there's the two outlets mentioned above at the foot of the bed up kind of high on the wall and another 115V outlet at the foot of the bed at floor level.
