It is set remotely by the doctor over 3G but isn’t anything like as strong as it goes. It goes between 4 and 12 cmH2O but I’m not sure what average to be honest.

Thank you both for your kind replies. I sleep 8 hours per 24 hour period. Here is the link to the machine. And here is the link to the adaptor.

TL;DR: have sleep apnea, need a CPAP machine to breathe at night; what are the ramifications of needing a CPAP machine on a 57ft narrowboat? A 12V/24V car-style adaptor is available which I understand is more efficient than the AC adaptor I currently have. Should we be looking at extra batteries or solar panels or something? We will harbour during winter months. Comments welcome. Me and my husband have decided to live on a narrowboat full time next year. As the subject suggests, my silly brain decides to stop operating my phrenic nerve dozens of times an hour when I’m asleep, and since I wish to live on a narrowboat with my husband shortly, the use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a deal breaker, because I like breathing when I’m sleeping. My machine is a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset and they do a car adaptor for it which is classed as 12/24V. It provides a DC to the machine. It has a car-like plug. So... ...for those who also need one of these fantastic devices to stay out of health problems, is there anything I need to be aware of before committing to a floaty lifestyle?
