Going to try dialysis on the road.
Got tired of waiting for a kidney and a very good deal on a 98 Holiday Rambler 38 footer came along so we jumped on it. I've never driven or owned a coach until last week and before then the bigges...

I'm an RN and my wife is an LPN, and it will be hemodialysis.
I know the amount of supplies is significant but not as bad as peritoneal.
The ideal situation would be the ability to get the filters, tubing and solution on the road and only need to carry a months worth at a time.
I had my shunt put in on May 1st and my labs in 2 weeks will decide when I start. I was pretty close in June but in stage 5 failure lab values tend to go on wild swings, so I might have some time still.
Our coach has a washer/dryer closet that should be perfect for the machine, and we transferred everything that was in our old TT into the coach and haven't come close to filling even half of the storage areas, so a months worth of supplies should fit with room to spare.
Nervous and excited at the same time.
