My husband is on dialysis overnight. Is there anyone out there who also does this. We were hoping to use our generator (if CS camping and no electricity available.) we are trying out our first camping session this weekend with him doing his dialysis and luckily our friendly farmer in dorset is arranging electricity. We prefer to camp with local DA's but only a few have access to electrical points and we feel that using the generator is
(1) not ideal (2) not cost effective (3) could have problems overnight. If you have done this please let us know how it has worked for you.
Hi Ruby2

A very warm welcome to you both.

I'm sorry I personally haven't got any experience of dialysis equipment but I hope someone can get back to you to assist with this dilemma.

I do take my hat off to you though for not letting this problem stop you from wanting to continue motorhoming.

We use a Honda generator and although it is one of the quietest around - I suspect it wouldn't be good to use all night if you had fellow MH's close by.

Good luck and I hope someone can help.

Hi ruby2 and welcome !

I've been puzzling over your predicament since I read your post yesterday and and I wonder whether this an ideal application for the use of a fuel cell. I know nothing and have no experience of the medical condition but reading the 'blurb' about an Efoy Fuel Cell it occurred to me that it might do the job.

Its not a cheap option but I imagine that reliability is the main consideration and although I can't offer a definite solution it may give you something to research and ask a lot of questions to the manufacturer/supplier.

Hope this helps.
