My RV Works, Inc., Certified RV Technician, Darren Koepp, continues to review and answer RV repair and how-to questions on the channel here.

A viewer has a question about running his CPAP machine. After a couple hours of running his CPAP machine, it trips the GFCI switch that it's plugged into in his RV.

Darren addresses a few things that may be the cause for that to happen, and he goes over some potential solutions for this issue.

00:00 Intro
00:47 When running CPAP (not connected to shore power), GFCI will kicks out after 2 hours. Why?
01:13 Suggestion: Buy 12V cigarette lighter for CPAP machine instead of inverter
02:10 Troubleshooting Question 1: Are you running an inverter?
02:31 Troubleshooting Question 2: Are you going modified sine wave or pure sine wave?
02:50 Troubleshooting Question 3: Battery Voltage
03:13 Troubleshooting Question 4: If you unplug the CPAP machine, after 2 hrs does GFCI still trip?
04:02 Outro

Stay tuned for more RV questions on our YouTube channel that will get answered!
