How to Power Your CPAP Machine While Camping
For those who use CPAP machines to help them sleep at night, the thought of going camping can be a bit daunting.
After all, how do you power your machine when you’re in the middle of the woods? Fortunately, there are some solutions that make it easy for campers to keep their CPAP machines running while they enjoy the great outdoors.
Let’s take a look at a few of them.
Generators
Generators are one of the most reliable ways to power your CPAP machine while camping. This is especially true if you plan on camping in remote locations where electricity isn’t available.
Generators typically run on gasoline or diesel and produce enough wattage to power your device without any issues. Just make sure that the generator has enough watts to handle your CPAP machine and any other electronic devices you plan on bringing along with you.
Solar Power
If you want an eco-friendlier way to power your CPAP machine while camping, then solar power could be just what you need.
Solar panels come in all shapes and sizes, so finding one that suits your needs shouldn’t be too difficult. Just make sure that it has enough wattage for your device and that it is positioned properly so it can get the most sunlight during the day.
You can also opt for a portable solar generator if you don’t want to bother with setting up individual solar panels each time you go camping.
Car Batteries
Another option for powering your CPAP machine while camping is car batteries. All you need is an inverter, which turns direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). Then simply connect one end of the inverter to a car battery and plug your device into the other end and voila!
Keep in mind that this option won’t work as well if you plan on taking extended trips since car batteries aren’t designed to last very long when they are being used as a power source.
Conclusion
Whether you opt for generators, solar power, or car batteries, there are plenty of options available when it comes to powering your CPAP machine while camping out in nature’s beauty and wonderment!
Of course, each option has its own pros and cons so be sure to do some research before deciding which one is best suited for your needs.
With a bit of planning ahead of time, rest assured knowing that even campers with sleep apnea can enjoy a good night’s sleep under the stars!
