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:
1) Short of buying the $85- DC converter from the manufacturer (link below), is there an easy/inexpensive way to get 24V to this machine from a 12V outlet?

2) I have a cheap 400w inverter ($50 from Costco) that I use to charge misc devices. It certainly isn’t “pure sine wave”. Is a CPAP machine something that will be harmed by a non pure wave pattern? I used to think not, but this new CPAP machine is web enabled, transmitting info to my doctor. Much more sophisticated than my prior machine.
