I need some advice.
My recent tests of camping without using the CPAP have shown doing so is a mistake. I'm dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to electricity so I have some questions regarding using a CPAP while camping without access to 110 VAC power. Simple and inexpensive solutions are good.
Background:
--The CPAP is a ResMed S9. I'd use the pump only, not the humidifier.
--Two types of camping: (1) sleeping in a tent or in an FJ60. The FJ60 has a single battery. (2) A small RV trailer with a single 12VDC battery. I have a solar panel and controller of unknown specs my brother used with his RV.
--Most trips are one or two nights.
Questions:
--Inverter: I see references that an inverter used for a CPAP ought to be a pure sine model. Is this due to "dirty power" damaging the electronics?
--Power source options: I need to buy a jump start power pack anyway. Would powering the CPAP off one of these be an option? How about using a motorcycle battery and recharging it with the solar panel?
--Other?
Thanks
Jim
