    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    OR 100 AH Victron in the TD (used for fridge and for cpap) and 100 (or maybe 60) AH Victron in the tow vehicle, used when fridge is in the tow vehicle and tow vehicle isn't driving.... or maybe just one LiFePo4 battery in the TD and call it a day. Battleborn's 100 AH is about an inch too big...

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    I'm thinking a 100 AH Victron to replace the TD battery, and the 60 AH Victron at the head of the bed (not coneected to TD) for CPAP use......

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    I think the 100 AH Victron would fit, but I'd need to measure again...and again

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    Seth: re the Victron AGM batts, why not (also) put one in the teardrop's battery compartment? I'm still trying to solve the fridge problem as well as the CPAP problem Would this battery be compatible with the TD's trickle charger?

    Where Do You Put Your Medicare Card While Traveling?

    Your wallet is probably the one place you should NOT keep your social security number. That's the fast lane to losing your identity.

    Tow Vehicle Solar: Step By Step

    Thanks for taking the leap on this. I apologize if I missed this while reading. Is your van battery bigger than a normal car battery? I'm wondering how long the Dometic can safely sit inside your (sometimes hot) van, as I would expect that would cause the Dometic to cycle on quite often...

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    I have a related question: what's the best way to recharge the cpap battery? If you do use a standalone battery for the CPAP (rather than the onboard battery), and you are recharging the TD's onboard battery via solar, is it problematic to charge the cpap battery IN the TD (via the 12V outlet)...

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    Why not in the cabinet at the "head" of the bed (TV-side of the TD)? (That's where my CPAP and batteries reside when we camp.) -Al

    Cpap Power For Boondocking

    I went with dedicated small batteries for my CPAP (no humidifier). Each battery gives a full night's CPAP use. (1+ days, actually, though not sure how much the "=" is.) No doubt this is an expensive approach (though it should be cheaper today than when I bought my batteries a few years ago)...
