Champion Stand Alone Generator use in rainy Weather.

Agreed. Even if it is just an opinion, knowing how someone decided is nice to know.

I don't know about others but I appreciate when someone shares their solution rather than just saying goodbye.

Last time I needed a generator in the rain I left it in the back of my truck and pulled the bed cover over it. Parked truck away from camper.

For the original poster (OP). here is my Generator cover.

I have used a generator in rainy weather, although it is good to have some type of shelter over it.

I've seen five ways to deal with a CPAP issue fairly elegantly:

1: Some models of CPAPs have external batteries. With a charger, one can keep 3-4 batteries topped off, one in use, then switch them out with daily generator use for a couple hours.

2: As above, a "booster pack". These are definitely less expensive than external CPAP batteries, and should do the job. Only gotcha is that their power from the inverter is likely MSW... and some CPAPs may not like that.

3: A dedicated 300 watt PSW inverter (I like the Morningstar SureSine 300 watt inverter because you can place the inverter close to the batteries, then string 120VAC wire to where you want the outlet. Some outlets even have a 5 volt USB connection or two so it can charge tablets and smartphones. This way, you always have clean power to the CPAP, and coupled with a solar charging system, this should allow for prolonged trips without needing to fire up the generator constantly.

4: Bring along a UPS, and disable its buzzer. This can get expensive, since an online UPS can cost four digits.

5: Learning how to play the didgeridoo. Strangely enough, playing this seems to harden the mouth enough to stop sleep apnea. I'm sure this isn't realistic, but worth mentioning.

What do you do if you lose power at home? Can you still use the machine or do you do without it?

I don't know about all brands but it seems that Resmed and Respironics are the most common brands. They both sell a 12vdc cord that allows you to plug the CPAP into your battery power.

I'd suggest you install an inverter and hook up the CPAP or get a 12v compatible machine to run direct to battery. If you don't have enough time in your schedule to get this installed, use an AGM battery inside with the inverter or a battery pack, as was posted by Buzzard.

Thanks for all of the Input. I am still deciding what I am going to do, I have a 35000/4000. It will not be used in a Campground.
Is it Possible to route the Exhaust through a Hole in the big Compartmenet under the front of my my 5th Wheel with a Pipe of some sort to vent Exhaust Gasses away from the Trailer and run it inside that Compartment with the Door open so it gets enough Air Flow? I can fix the Door at an Angle so the Rain would not be an Issue, and still allow for adequate Air Flow.

I wouldn't do it especially since your bed is right above it. Get an inverter and another battery or two. Then recharge the batteries during the day with your generator.
