If you do a little digging, you’ll notice that there are campsites like KOA campgrounds and State Parks with electricity throughout. Powered campsites have the advantage of providing all the electricity you need for your therapy without as many equipment compromises. Let’s get started! Visit a Campsite With Power There are benefits and drawbacks to each, and we’ll discuss both in greater detail in the coming paragraphs.

How to Power Your CPAP Machine While Camping In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover: So, if you clean your humidifier everyday when you use bottled water every night, you won't have problems when you travel.If you’re planning a camping trip, but are worrying about taking your CPAP therapy into the great outdoors, then this article is for you. This lady explains how to clean the humidifier:
Just use solution of one part vinegar to 3 parts of water (others say 1 to 10, or even fifty-fifty). In the end, the trick is to know how to clean the tank effectively every morning: So, you can reduce the problem by filling the tank every night and dumping the water every morning, cleaning the tank properly. The problem with bottled water or tap water is mineral build up on the water chamber, and your tank may not last as long. The best alternative for distilled water is to use bottled water in your humidifier, as long as you clean the humidifier every morning. It should be perfect to use distilled water, but I doubt that you'll find it so easily. You don't have to worry too much about the water for CPAP when traveling. Regarding bottled water and cleaning the CPAP humidifier tank The CPAP is a medical device and it should be treated as such. Don't check it unless you want the ground crew to use it as football. Note: Always carry your CPAP with you on board as carry on lugage. I don't know how easy it is to find distilled water in South Africa, so you should already be prepared with the required quantity of distilled water. So you will only need the correct plug adapter. In this case, if you use the CPAP in South Africa without the voltage converter or transformer, you will fry it.įortunately, I found on ResMed website that all ResMed CPAP systems have a power supply that automatically adjusts to the various power supplies in different parts of the world.
Input: ~100-240V 50/60Hz 65W - if you see something like this on your CPAP, the your device is compatible with multiple voltages.
If your CPAP machine is compatible with multiple voltages, then the adapter is all you need.īut how do you know whether or not your CPAP is compatible with 220-240 volts? You have to check the electrical input specifications which usually appear on a label on the CPAP, or on its charger or AC adapter if it uses one, near where the brand name and model number appear. So.you need a converter or transformer that will lower the voltage from 220-240 Volts to the Canadian 110-120 Volts. The voltage is also different: in Canada you have 110-120 Volts, but in South Africa the voltage is 220-240 Volts. The plugs from South Africa are type M, or D (which are almost identical) however, the plugs from USA or Canada (type A or B) doesn't match with those from South Africa. You really need a grounded adapter plug US to South Africa to use the CPAP machine. Thank you for being my best resource! Answer Is there any advice you can offer regarding electrical currency adaptors or water type requirements for travel to South Africa? Again I am turning to you for advice on travelling with my CPAP machine (Resmed S9 Autoset with H51).
