Cpap and camping
I know this subject has been discussed here before but honestly most of this is over my head so I'm looking for a simplistic answer if that's even possible. DW has a Phillips IP22 Cpap. 12v 6.6 a. Use...

X2 never heard of a 24v Cpap, But I guess I haven't heard of everything?:@

many or all resemed's are 24V. frankly, I don't really care that it is 24V or not. It's a fantastic CPAP, I like it way more than the respironics it replaced. smaller, lighter, more adaptable to my needs, and solved some dry mouth problems the respironics never could.
So, yes it needs a 12-24V dc-dc converter to run off 12VDC. In many cases insurance will cover that, mine did, but even if it didn't, it's less than $50 for one. I'll gladly pay the $50 since I like the resmed way more than the respironics.
Why it is 24V rather than 12V is a mystery to me, and sure, if it was 12V it would be nicer, but since either way to run of DC they plug into a 12V cig lighter outlet, no big deal for me.
