Need help with CPAP for camper

[_DJ_1]

Fairly new to CPAP. The VA bought mine and it is strictly 110 volt. I thought no problem just get an inverter. Got a Schumacher 410 watt. Runs the CPAP OK but every time I take a breath in, the inverter runs then quits when I breathe out. The cooling fan on the inverter is noisy and very annoying since it does not run constantly.

I doubt if my VA Dr would write a prescription for a 12 volt model that I could go buy myself.

So, just wondering what others do. 12 volt machine or are there quiet inverters or put up with the noise?

Thanks.......DJ

Could you use a jump box similar to this?

I'm not sure how long it would last, though, especially if you use a humidifier.

Battery packs specific to CPAPs can get pretty pricey.

I use a 12v DC /120v AC CPAP machine. Are you using the humidifier? I don't usually use that function when on battery power.

I'm not sure why your inverter operates that way?

Can you possibly trade it back to the medical supply you got it from? Mine plugs into 110 but has an inline 12v converter. So, if I don't have 110 available, I can plug into the 12v system with the same power cord I use for the TV. It's a Resperonics System One. Good Luck.

My wife has a C PAP and our twin deep cycles will not power it through a 400 watt inverter. I have read the humidifier part of the CPAP can beremoved to use less power. If that is the case that may help. I know many here will have a better answer
