Camping with CPAP? Battery solutions?

Post by Vickizca » Wed Mar 30, 2016 5:28 pm

I want to go camping with my family again! I checked at cpap.com and the batteries are too costly for us. I studied up on cables and jump boxes and see that these cost just as much. Any other lower cost options out there? Thanks!

Are you talking "Car Camping" ? Or are you looking to back pack?
