[quote="Tumbleweed"]dllfo....... What I mean't was to forget the batterys all together and run the XPAP and humidifier off the generator. The Hondas have circuitry built in to allow even sensitive equipment like a computer to run off it. And at almost 2 nights per gallon of gas, it's a lot less hassle than dealing with batterys and recharging and such. IMHO
That's a great idea, but if you are in a campground or an area where other people are trying to camp and sleep at the same time they seem to get a little hostile if a Generator is running past 2100 hrs. (9:00 pm) And try doing that at an Endurance Ride where people are going to get up at 0300hrs to go ride a horse for 25, 50, or even 100 miles in an Endurance race.
Now what is a good invertor to get I am going to install a couple of solar panels on the roof of my RV I can get a 15w panel to keep the house batteries charged but I was thinking about maybe getting a couple of
115 w , panels and maybe a good invertor. I see Resmed recommends a 300 watt invertor , but not sure so anyone have a better idea. I know that the two solar panels 115w will cost just a little under $2100.00, and I can add up to 5 panels with the controller. But I think that a little over kill just to keep two 6v deep cycle batteries charge. but they say one panel will keep the batteries charge to where we will only have to run the Generator every couple of days if we have good sun light. If we go with 2 panels and add four more batteries we could go for up to 5 days dry camping.
And adding the extra batteries we could use our Microwave.
