Yvonne Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm the new owner of an 18' 1979 Toyota Sunrader. This is my first RV. There are electrical receptacles in the unit. If I switch from Alternating Current to DC will these receptacles work? I need to use a CPAP machine at night and am wondering where and how to hook it up. Can anyone enlighten my ignorance?

If not, you will lose ac power once you disconnect from an AC power source. Diesel Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstream Greg Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I also use a cpap. My new one will run on 12 volts dc. I also use a small 150 watt inverter to run it from 12volts dc to 120 volts ac. Unless someone installed an inverter in your rig and wired it up to your plugs I would guess there is a 99.9% chance that when unplugged from shore that the outlets do not work.
