24 Volt CPAP
I just picked up a new 24V CPAP machine (ResMed AirSense 10). This replaced a 20 yr old machine that I ran off AC at home and 12V DC in the RV (used the 12v TV outlet in the bedroom). Two questions:...

Although i could use the inverter with my CPAP, my company insurance plan at the time paid for my ResMed 12v to 24v converter.
As of today, identical (or almost) models are available that run directly from 12 V DC.
PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO GET THEIR FIRST CPAP, OR A REPLACEMENT, NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION......to make the "problem" discussed in this thread a non-issue.
I DID TELL THE DOCTOR I NEEDED A 12V UNIT BECAUSE I WAS A CAMPER AND THE BATTERIES I USED WERE 12V. MY DAD HAD A 12V RESPIRONCS CPAP HE TOOK ALONG WHEN HE WENT CAMPING WITH ME FOR YEARS. WHEN I HAD TO HAVE MY OWN CPAP AND THE EQUIPMENT PROVIDER SHOWED UP AT THE HOUSE HE BROUGHT A 24V CPAP. BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD THAT WAS WHAT THE DOCTER WANTED ME TO HAVE AND TOLD ME TO GO TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND GET AN ADAPTER. SOOOOO, THE SOLUTION WAS AN INVERTER OR THE PROPER RES MED 24V BRICK MY INSURANCE PIAD FOR.
So what's your problem?
