    Yes you can. I can run a Resmed AirSense 10 on a smaller inverter like that. As far as runner a cooler at the same time, I don't know.

    I don't

    I feed, fondle and nurse my batteries. They are children in constant need of feeding, keeping clean and warm and happy. For the time you really have need of them.

    There were times my alternator quit, everything offline except fuel pump and 4 hours to the nearest heavy truckshop. The batteries more or less were able to support me on bad days like that for that long.

    That’s what I worry about. The long term affect. I’m in a company truck (try to be a good little employee), but I’m trying to think more and more like an O/O and treat this truck as I would my own. Don’t need regrets tomorrow from a decision today. All of this is really to work towards the “to APU or not APU” conundrum down the road.

    If the low voltage kicks in, it should eliminate "comfort" loads - including the cpap which should wake you.

    If you don't pass out first... I don't know how that works. I see them as the devils work.

    IF you were really sick, I just cut a trach and then add a oxygen concentration to it.

    Do you even know what a CPAP/APAP does? From your responses, I think not LOL.

    Pass out if it goes off??? Sheesh, man.

    I think it would do you well to read up on the subject and the device itself before referring to it as the "devils work."
