Re: Camping without amenities (electricity)

Well I just got back from Campobello Island using my machine plugged into my serious marine battery for 3 days. Everything worked just as it should and I really slept well. I am very pleased.

Re: Full time RV with CPAP

Re: Full time RV with CPAP

Why not just plug your cpap machine into the RV's "house battery" by getting a cord for the cigarette lighter.....DC to DC? The RVs engine or solar panel is usually set up to charge up the house battery anyway. I carry a "normal battery charger" and just got a "battery tender" for when I have AC pow...

Re: Camping.

Shore power is what we all plug into while camping if we have it. If I have that, I will just plug my machine into that source of power. I intend to use my regular battery charger (12/2 amp + 100 amp booster) + I have a battery tender just for marine batteries for a longer and more complete charge. ...

Re: Camping.

I just ordered up a new DC to DC power cord for my ResMed 10 Auto machine (90 watts) from the cpap store and this marine battery box.... https://www.amazon.com/Newport-Vessels-T...
