Newbie question about dry camping
We have a new pop up camper that we mostly camp in established parks with hookups. We have an upcoming trip next month that will have no hookups at all. My question is: will electrical outlets run on ...

On a PUP (PopUP) the question "Will the electrical outlets run on battery" is NO. they will not. I know of no PUP with an inverter
Converter: converts 120vac to 12vdc battery charge voltage (really 13.6 to 14.6)
INVERTER does the inverse, battery back to 120vac.
Solution is Amazon.com or equivalent.
I picked one I have read a lot about. it connectrs DIRECT to teh battery and is a TRUE sine wave. they had others cheaper but they were plug in.
NOTE: you may need more battery as well. this is a 300 watt unit. I don not knwo the requrirements of yoru C-PAP but when you read the wattage.. That is roughly the number of amp horus needed to power that.
With REAL DEEP CYCLE batteries you need 2x that many amp hors
With MARINE/DeepCycle) 4-6 times the amp horus.
Ie If it takes 100 watts you need 200 amp horus of DEEP CYCLE (A pair of GC-2)
OR 300 (minumum) of MARINE/Deep cycle (3 group 29s would do it)
