If you are considering packing your CPAP for a trip to the great outdoors, do not be discouraged – it can be done.
Although it may seem like a difficult task, camping with a CPAP is really not that challenging.
Sure, your tent is not the comfy bed you have at home, and, sure, there are no naturally occurring sockets out there in the wild.
But that doesn’t mean that you’ll be left stranded with your sleep apnea out there.
On the contrary, there is a convenient solution for treating obstructive sleep apnea in the wild. In fact, there are several.
Camping with CPAP is all about the right planning
To be properly prepared for camping on CPAP therapy, follow these easy pre-trip steps:
Step 1: Pack your CPAP / BPAP machine. If it is a travel CPAP and it came with a carry bag, use it accordingly for the purpose. Travel CPAPs are light and compact, so they won’t add that much of extra weight to your camping gear.
Step 2: Pack you CPAP supplies. Pack your CPAP mask (with all necessary headgear, with all the hoses and tubing.
Step 3: Power up your CPAP. Be sure to charge your CPAP’s batterires (travel models) and pack a spare battery if you have one. You don’t want your sleep apnea savior to run out of power in the middle of the night. Calculate how long each battery is going to last while powering your CPAP.
What if you don’t have extra batteries for your CPAP camping trip
The vast majority of CPAP brands offer portable DC power adapters capable of charging your device directly from the cigarette lighter.
Portable battery kits
If you haven’t extra batteries for your CPAP device, a practical solution is to use a portable battery kit that can charge a CPAP battery directly from your car.
Use a 12-volt car battery to charge your CPAP. In order to do so you’ll need a compatible CPAP 12 Volt DC battery cable adapter.
