Hey all,

I wad wondering if anyone uses a CPAP while camping on the bike? I've really been wanting to try camping with the bikes but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The CPAP is the biggest deterrent honestly.
Thanks in advance

 

What did you do before you got the cpap?
There are portable cpap's and there are battery units to run your current cpap.

I don't camp any more, but I always have enough room for my Dreamstation.

 

I bought a Z1 a few years back. I liked it so much I use it all the time now. Very portable and quite.

 

I use one. If I camp .. which is rare these days I just get a tent site with electric and water. Koa and Jellystone have these types of sites. This way I can use a fan and my laptop to watch movies. .. gotta have tv to go to sleep.

 

I don't camp, but I use a CPAP. If I'm stay anywhere I don't bring it. I can sleep literally anywhere and the only
person bothered if I don't use it is my wife.

 

A good friend of mine who uses a CPAP went on a fishing trip with his son and a few others last year way up in Canada. No electricity at the cabin they stayed at. He told me that he bought a portable unit and a solar charger for his. I guess they are available but expensive.

 

The power packs are available and getting smaller and smaller plus the solar panels to charge batteries can be mounted just about anywhere to charge a battery while riding if you have to.

 

U triple P (at least that is what the Doc called it).
It was my 4th and final sinus surgery.
Have not used a CPAP in years, but they make battery powered ones I am told.

 

I have had a CPAP for about 20 years and find it somewhat difficult to sleep without it. Don't camp on bike trips, so I can bring along. PITA to pack it, but maybe a small, traveler type would be easier. I believe my body has gotten used to this and I can't go without it. I tend to plug/stuff up in my sinus cavity, so sometimes breathing becomes difficult. With the CPAP, my sinus tends to be clearer and I can breathe and sleep.

 

Same for me. Almost 20 years with my machine. I looked into all the battery options and solar panels and all that. Basically I don't camp without electric hookups. Non-negotiable. Without my CPAP I wake up feeling like I'm hungover and there is an axe buried between my eyes. Can't focus the next day and need a nap by lunchtime. Not safe to ride in that state.

That being said, if you can't get electric hookups then yes, most machines have a battery option. They are only good for a night then you have to recharge. A solar panel can charge one in a day, unless the weather is bad. So you may want 2 batteries just in case.
