[C320-list] C Pap Machine

[argates2nd]

I have sailed with four people who used those machines.  The draw did not take much overnight from a single 12 volt via a small inverter I use for cell phone and laptop charging.  One guy got a new machine last summer and he got a 12 volt transformer/cigarette lighter cord for it after it was erratic on my small inverter.Rollie.   #182

We are having overnight guests on our boat this summer ... the husband uses
a Rec Med Air Mini C-Pap unit that draws 6.3 Watts (27 Watts Peak).
Questions:

1.  Have any of you run such a device on your boat - at anchor?
2.  If so - did your inverter successfully handle the load?
3.  Did you have to keep your generator running for part or all of the time
it was being used?

We have a Honda 200 W generator.

Thanks for your feedback.
