Generators

Gday,
Try a search under Honda?
Might find a bit of info there.

Cheers

I have used a CPAP now for going on 11 years. You don`t need to run a generator,I use the deep cycle battery in my Toyota to drive a 300 Watt inverter that in turn drives the CPAP.

Tickityboo,

Whatever you do, dont buy a Yamaha, their after sales service ( or lack of it) absolutely stinks.

Ticketyboo,

I am planning to run mine off the deep cycle battery.

I haven't done the maths yet to see if my battery is up to the task but if it can run a fridge for 2 days it should be able to run my CPAP for 6 hours.

ResMed even makes a 12V plug adaptor its machines. (No affiliation, I have a Respironics).

Good luck

Many people run their 240 volt CPAP machine from an inverter connected to a 12 volt supply.
Others buy a 12 volt CPAP machine also connecting it to a 12 volt supply.

The 12 volt supply may be the vehicle's singular "starting" battery, or an auxiliary battery in a dual battery, or multi-battery configuration.

I run my Resmed off a Waeco 60watt non sinusoidal inverter with no trouble, sometimes off the deep cycle and sometimes off the start battery. My Cpap machine only takes 1amp without the humidifier so the power drain is negligible.
I bought the Resmed thingo to operate directly off the 12v (it won't run off 12v without it) and never use it as it takes about the same operating current as the inverter, $100 wasted. I carry a 200watt sine wave inverter to run the humidifier but as yet have never used it.
Hope that helps. Geoff

G'day Tickityboo

Ive been a hose head for a couple of years now . I brought a second hand Cpap from my Sleep centre for $150 bucks ,which I take Camping and Caravaning .(leaving the good one at home)

I have just spent 3 months travelling around Aust in a mix of Powered and Unpowered sites in my C/van and some camping in a tent. I also do a lot of camping in a swag. The Cpap will run off a 300 Watt Inverter and so far it has done it off a cheapy. ($79) one.

If you require the humidifier .( They use more power). Try useing water pass over. (non heated). I have tested my F & P and it _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx less than 1 amp set at 10.

Another useful hint is useing a second length of hose to help with some of the akward sleeping arangements of camping and caravans .(you may need to up the pressure level ?) Also remember to take a small extension cord for the machine (or a long one if the car and tent are a distance away)

A small solar panel should maintain the 7-10 AH required if sitting in the one spot for a time. I have a 100W panel and 80 Ah Aux bat in my car that looks after my 50 lt fridge and light and Cpap .

Hope some of this helps ?
