Camped in sub-freezing temperatures and using a CPAP with humidifier set to 5 (cold dry winter air... *)
Take a guess how many amp hours in a 5-hour period. And the 3:00AM bit is for jollies. A more rational workup is to have the power failure worst case which is more akin to reality.
Rationale: Winter travel boondock overnight on asphalt. Power pole princess rigs are especially susceptible as they have a single lightweight battery.
For whatever reason I either set my humidifier on 5 unless I am home or I wake up at 4:00 AM with an Oklahoma grade dust bowl raging in my mouth. The humidifier reservoir is 95% used in one night.
