Fairly new member with C-Pap questions

Hello from Idaho. We bought our 1997 Damon Intruder last fall and taken one major trip across the country--staying at KOAs etc. Now we would like to do more boondocking. My husband and I both use C-pap machines and wanting to figure out the best solution for power at night. We are looking at C-Pap battery packs, external generators, lithium ion batteries, etc. Any experienced RVers out there with suggestions?

Add a invertor matched to the wattage requirements of both machines. My wifes Cpap uses 40 watts so I installed a small 400 watt invertor from O'Reilly's $99, power to spare.

Hi folks! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined us!

I use a C-PAP but never boondock except staying overnight at Wal-Mart, etc. in which case we run the generator, so I can't answer your questions. I would suggest that you post questions over in the specific areas of the forum for best results. Not many folks hang out here in the Welcome area! Hope you enjoy the forum!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
