More on my CPAP and O2 set up in Our RV


 This is the area that most of the electrical comes together in the RV.  The area is also very open with drawers and doors providing only ventilation so I may add a small vent.  However, I have felt in the areas every time they have been operating and felt no temperature difference.


The two panels I have on the roof, each are 100 watts with the wires ran off the back of the RV and enter the basement from under the RV.  I tied the wires off to the AC and vents on the way down to avoid more holes.  I have each bolted on the sides at six points.  I also have two anchor points at the front and one on the back of each as well.  All points have been sealed.  Please note the photo below only shows four points on each side, I added more after this photo.


 My basic solar controller that came with the two panel solar kit seems to be working fine tied to two deep cycle batteries. 



Here is a view of our bed room in the RV.  There is just enough room for the CPAP on the little built in night stand.  Because of the plugs on the wall side of the CPAP there is enough room for ventilation.  For the concentrator on the floor there is ventilation all the way around, the bed has about a inch and a half of overhang as well.

 
In my basement compartment it can hold three batteries side by side.  I currently have it with  two 109 amp hour batteries, which are hooked up in parallel. 
 
The compartment has a vent hole to the outside near its top on the left wall above the controller.  If I can not get at least 6 hours a night with both the CPAP and Concentrator on for two night's in a row I will add a third battery.  Will decide this by 1 June.
