Doing Vest & Nebs in Car

[grassisgreener]

We like to have our daughter do her vest & nebs in the car while we are traveling but need to get a new inverter bc the one we currently has will only work with her vest on her lower settings and it won't work with the nebulizer.

I have been reading about watts, and all that stuff but I am not sure what to think. It turns out that our inverter is WAY too small. I am thinking I might need to get one that hardwires to the car battery but I would much rather use one in the cig lighter bc we only do this in the car 2-3 times a month (except in the summer when we are on the go and do it much more frequently).

Oh ya, we do have a Pari Trek but I prefer to use the proneb or pulmo-aide bc they seem to work better.

Any thoughts?

I don't know the answer but there is a family locally that hace CF twins I know that have done this successfully. I think the dad lurks here sometimes, so maybe he'll respond. They have their van set for 2 vests -- I think. Its such a good idea if you are always on the run.

Go to any truck stop and you will be able to get a good inverter, they will be pricey though. I tried too look on the back of my vest to see how many amps it draws but could not find anygthing, maybe yours will say.
The inverter will be big though, to run the vest it wiil need to be, so it wont be very convenient.

Hope this helps a little.

Okay, I did some more research on this, in case anyone is interested. The Vest uses 400watts (when being used at its highest settings) we were able to run the vest in our van with a 75watt continuous inverter but never higher than a setting of 12 (7 pressure). The nebulizers are 98 watt and would start but not run with our 75 watt inverter. So we are rough estimating that the Vest uses at the most about 150 watts at the settings our daughter uses (12,14,16). If we were to run the vest at the same time as the nebulizer that would be approximately 250 watts. We only do this if in a time crunch, not very often.

Here is what I ordered today:

This is called 400 watts but is actually only 300 watts continuous (it can peak at 400 watts but only for 5 minutes). I am pretty sure this will easily work...I am really hoping bc all inverters larger than this have to be hard wired to the auto battery.

BTW, I almost ordered it from Walmart for $59 + shipping but thankfully I found it at Amazon for $29 free shipping. I will update with results once we test it out in case anyone is interested.
