Does anyone know what the capacity of the 12 volt receptacle along side of the bed? It's near the phone charging units. I was hoping that I could use it to power two CPAP machines when we dry camp.

15 AMP. What is your draw on 2 machines?

Hi A32 Deuce, Thanks for the come back. According to the technical specs typical power consumption is 53W and peak power consumption is 104W, which would be 4.4 amps & 8.7 amps respectively for 12 volts. I would think that would include the heated humidifier, which we don't use when using a 12 volt battery. It looks like 15 amps would be more than adequate, but if there was an overload i'm sure the fuse would fail. Using the interior 12 volt receptacle makes life easier since we always had to bring a deep cell battery along with us when dry camping to power the cpap's.

I have 3 of those 12 volt outlets in ours. Looking in out Gus location, all are 15 AMP fuses. More then likely, with out looking, I think the are on their own fuse. So you should be good if nothing else is on that circuit.

How do you plan on recharging the battery the next day, after it's been discharged overnight?
Hope you have a dual battery setup.

Yeah, double battery on unit and they get recharged every day with portable generator. Used a single deep cell battery for a couple of years w/2 cpap's and was able to go two nights without recharging.
