I need to ask some questions. My husband has had brain surgery This is something he just cannot process so I am really needing some help. I am trying to figure out the simplest way to power our two cpap machines off electricity. My CPAP is a Resmed Pro and I am at a 14. Hubbies is older and he is at a 7. We love national parks but know that many will not have electricity so I am looking for more than and overnight fix. Remember I am not at all electrically inclined so treat me like the total novice that I am when answering. We only have a marine deep cell battery. I have tried watching Utube for answers but the terminology just confuses me and my husband.
Questions:
1.We need a generator to power the battery (batteries)? How many batteries? 2.If we buy one I think we should make the investment to get one big enough for the air conditioner. We have just one AC. What size generator do you suggest? 3. We need something to go from the generator to the batteries? If so, what do we need to purchase to make that connection?
4. What must be purchase to go from the battery to the CPAP's to power them?
Where do I purchase that kind of thing. Since Radio Shack is no longer available I don't know who might have what we need.
What have I forgotten to ask and or need to know? Remember to keep it simple for me and step by step would be helpful.
Thank you so very much. I trust the people who are actually campers and have dealt with this. You know what we need and what this kind of camping requires. I have discovered that people who do not camp just give you a blank look when you try to tell them what you need to accomplish.
We don't use a generator at all (except to rechrge the coach batteries during the day).
Our motorhome has a built in inverter. The outlets then are just like a house, and provide power all night for my CPAP.
I do not know if you even have such a thing in your rv, but I thought I'd give input. Not sure if it helps at all...sure glad you asked the question, this kind of stuff confuses me, so anything I can read on this will help me too :)
