Keep it for emergency only with house AGM battery and stay at a site with electricity. If some one has a better solution for CPAP let me know.

I never use the humidifier when I'm away from shore power

My trailer runs easily for 3 days on house battery even with c-pap ..... But I did cut the power brick off my c-pap and install a 12 volt cord ... Works great !!! and uses soooo much less power

I have one similar to that Freeman, 300w

Love it

Run a tv and directv rx for over 5hrs

I got a 120w foldable solar panel and can run for hours with it charging the power panel and running things off it

May actually set it up to charge the rv battery today to try that too, the solar panels

I may get another so I can use one while the other charges
