Bed Inverter Plug

[Rare]

I have a 2025 Wolfpup 16BHSW. It came with a bed inverter plug for things like sleep apnea machines. The plug is super loud (cooling fan) and has an annoying green led during operation. Has anyone attempted to install a shore power outlet in general location of head of bed to plug things into shore power? I don't see any shore power outlets on the left (drivers) side of trailer at all..

I had a 12 volt cigarette lighter std plug installed on my side of the bed.

Bought the 12 volt cable for the cpap. Plugging in a 400 watt inverter into this outlet if ever we need to watch the big screen.

Clueless what you are describing. Usually, a 120 volt ac outlet on a big inverter is not the preferred option. You are typically powering a wasteful inverter and the cpap’s exterior converter.

More information please.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about as far as what Forest river has installed above bed headboard. It apparently converts DC to AC power. It is noisy and has an annoying LED when being used. There are no shore power AC outlets on the right side (when looking tongue to back) at all. I want to put an AC outlet in somewhere near the bed headboard side of bed but see no where to tap into to do so. There is a USB A port near bed but CPAP will not run off of it.

That is a new one.

Great idea.

Often inverters have cooling fans which I would guess is the issue.

My 400 watt inverter I plug into our cigarette lighter plugged is quiet I think. Never use it.

In my class A I had a 12 volt outlet installed like tomkatb. I haven't yet done that in my 5th wheel, but plan to do so before we start traveling again, since I already have a 12v power cord.

Since you already have 12v power to the outlet you don't like, I suggest you just remove that outlet and install a 12v cig lighter outlet. Then get a 12 volt cord for your CPAP which will be more efficient and solves the fan noise problem. And that is a LOT less work than trying to figure out how to run 120 volt wiring to that location.

It says it is a rather noisy fan. 52 db. Sounds like a lot.

Tell the DW it is white noise to help you sleep

Extremely loud and green light is ridiculous. Very hard to sleep. I may pursue the 12 volt socket thing if my cpap allows for it.

Install the plug. Used mine once for the 400 watt plug inverter for the cpap.

We were turtled up. Could not access the cord stored in the closet. Had a floor failure. Afraid to open it. Serious delamination.
