Question Oxygen Concentrator and Motorhome/5th Wheel Generators

[Crown5544]

Newbie here. I haven't purchased an RV yet. But I'm planning on doing so next spring.
I have COPD and currently use an Oxygen Concentrator just at night. My Concentrator supplier says many Motorhome Generators. even with Inverters, do not supply an even enough current, though using their Concentrator is OK. It's just the output might vary.

Also, I would obviously be running the generator at night. I know a lot of places prohibit night time generators.

Does anyone here have experience with this?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I believe most places allow a generator to be running 24/7 for medical devices. My suggestion is that, if you do plan to run it continuously, you had better get a very quiet one. Most folks that I know, boondock for the peace and quiet. You may be legally able to run it but your neighbors will very much object I think. Perhaps an investment in a powerful solar plant would be a better idea and use the generator only as a back up.

IF theres no shore power where you go, maybe get a small quiet genny like a Honda and dont run your main gen at night

Hmm...I'll check out the solar idea. I didn't thing there were any that would be powerful enough. But it is a good idea. Thanks

Thanks for the idea. I actually just sold a small Honda generator. Wish I'd kept it now. If nothing else as a backup for a main generator.

They are pretty quiet
