Best way to run cpap while camping?

[superj]

Google says I can get two 100 Watt Solar panels, a solar charge controller, and a 100 amp hour battery, and that'll run a cpap machine for 8 hours.And then it'll charge in a 6 hour day.What do you guys think?

I need a set up for when when I go to big bend

I tried one of those online solar panel set up deals where you put all your information in , and that's what it told me

Look at the label on your CPAP and see how many amps or watts it takes. I just looked at my old resmed model and it requires 1.5 amps input at 120volts. That would be 180watts. So, for an 8 hour night of sleep, it would need 12amp-hours (AH) or 1440watt-hours (WH). So, to be on the safe side, get a powerbank that provides 2,000WH or maybe 15AH at 120volts.

If that's all you want to use it for, just get a whole package deal with powerbank and solar charging from somebody like Jackery or Bluetti or something like that. You can get inexpensive setups even from Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. It can also charge your phone.

There are several articals in our tech library if you want more info. Here is one.
