How does this work with a CPAP for camping overnight?

Most CPAPs have a DC input so you don't have to deal with the inefficiency of using an inverter and then the additional losses due to the CPAP converting it back to 12 VDC.A typical CPAP will draw about 12 watts.

The 450 watt inverter will easily handle the CPAP, which average about 40 watts. The battery should last the night, if nothing else is drawing off of it. The question is, how will you charge it the next day? Will you have a source of 120VAC? If, while camping, you run a generator during the day, that would do it. Shut down the generator at night, so people can sleep, and use this little guy to power the CPAP. That would be ideal!

Yes. I can go 3 nights using my CPAP with a DC cord so I don't need the AC inverter option. You can still get a full night on the inverter if you don't have the DC Adapter. As with all CPAP its recommend to not used the humidifier option when on battery power. So I own two of these to handle week long camps.

I would purchase an extra filter and cleaner. Also make sure you have a good surge protected power bar as you would be keeping the SoClean next to your cpap machine.

I use mine every night for my cpap machine while we are dry camping. I am able to use it for 3 or 4 nights without recharging the marine battery.

Is it tent camping or out "under the stars"?.....Tent camping for sure....the great thing about the bed is the almost instant inflate and deflate.....I bought an electric pump for mine and it is awesome......I bought 2 twins rather than a queen because it isn't comfortable for 2 in a blow up bed....the twins are really much better (my opinion)......

The filter itself has quick connectors that let you unclip it from the hoses and rest of the unit. Unclip the filter and keep it in your sleeping bag. Maybe use a ziplock if there's a little water that may still find its way out.

Without using the included "regulator" this pump generates enough pressure to burst a Coleman air mattress. (Learned my lesson and I'm substantially more careful now.) It inflates really fast, but it's "ear-splitting, always wear hearing protection" loud. I've used it to inflate large towables. It does the job in a hurry and with plenty of pressure so that there's no need to "top it off" with a hand pump.

Thank you for replying to my question. I was wondering if it would work with a CPAP machine.

I was never able to get my CPAP hooked up correctly. I have not been able to match plugs sizes for the CPAP machine so I don't know where the problem lies. I should point out that I tried hooking this up on the plane for the first time, so that might have something to do with it.The CPAP had a standard 2 prong plug. The single cylinder prong was the issue plugging into the CPAP battery.

My Goal Zero Escape 150 (same capacity as this one) runs my CPAP for 4-5 hours, but not all night. This unit only stores about 14 amp hours. You have to determine your amp hour needs. Watts/Volts = Amp Hours. Find out the wattage your device requires then divide by 12 volts and see how many amps it will draw... then purchase a unit that will power your projector as long as you need it to via amp hours. :)

Most likely not the draw of a cpap would well exceed the 10 amp hour battery's life. I would recommend looking into a Honda or other similar inverter generator. They are very quiet, very fuel efficient and light weight.

Depends on how much current the cpap machine takes. But I would think that it would not take more than 12 Amps. Take a look at the required input current on the cpap. If it is less than 12.5 Amps, yes is the answer. Be sure it also is a 12 volt DC input. That is how you get the 150 Watts. P=IE where P is power in watts, I is current in Amps and E is voltage in volts.

Yes, it will definitely work. We took two of them with us to Spain and Portugal last December and I used it for my CPAP. They work great.

Yeah I used an air mattress pump. It really isn't a lot of air. You can blow it up with your mouth in about ten minutes. It's super easy.

Hi Bev, this pillow is designed for back sleepers. With CPAP mask on it would be difficult. I hope this information is helpful. Your friends at 4everactive via Amazon

Most CPAP machines have 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor you can add-on (you do not need to buy an inverter.)http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=103777

It works fine for the small pillow that I got and it is sobakawa.I would call the one I got fine for a tent or camper as it is smaller than a normal pillow.

I use it camping i have a double thick air matress, I also use it to start the campfire it lasted me about 4 fills. If all you used it for was to fill a matress then I am sure you would get many more fills out of it
