C-PAP machine and a TC?
Wife recently got a C-PAP machine. We are going away for three weeks and was wondering how the C-PAP is going to operate if we do not have shore power? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanx

Thanx to everyone for all the great info!
Looks like I will wire in a cigarette (is it still called that) lighter outlet next to the bed and plug in a 400 watt inverter. Will see if the battery holds up for a night on the CPAP machine without heat and go from there. I that doesn't work, option B will be a seperate rechargeable battery pack.
Have hope !!!
Depending upon the 12 volt female receptacle you use, be certain you have the wiring correct, double check it before connecting anything to it. You may also want to use an inline fuse on the positive side.
Also, use a volt meter & check voltage at the battery prior to going to bed & then once again in the morning. That may help "somewhat" in determining the overall power usage throughout the night.
Excellent suggestions! Will do.
