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

I used an inverter for years with my ResMed machine. Problem was that it was noisy and with the constantly running cooling fan it drew a lot of power.
Until I looked closely this past year I never realized that my machine was a 24 Volt unit and at home it ran through a 120V AC to 24V DC converter.
My supplier was able to sell me a 12V DC to 24V DC converter and it works great. It's absolutely silent and my draw on the camper battery is under a third of what I was drawing with the inverter.
I don't use my humidifier although I leave it in place set to off. The airflow over the water humidifies the water enough for me. Dave
A very valid point, the fans on inverters can be noisy for sure. If you don't already have a good inverter & you must buy one, you're better off, getting the direct 12 volt adapter for ResMed @ about $90
