Got it in. Slept great last night and so did everyone else without my snoring. My wife. 2 grandsons, and Bogie the dog. A full Z-Pod was quiet and tranquil thanks to ya'lls help. Now if I can just get 2 batteries to last 3 days we'll be good.

If you don't remember, it might remind you!
 I have a CPAP also and have been thinking about this very thing.Terry |

Thanks Craig. I had a feeling it might be that simple. Or was it that I am that simple? In either case I'll try to remember to unplug the power.

LOL, alright
 Start by removing the front cover of the converter. Open the access door to the fuses/breakers and you'll find two screws in the upper-left and upper-right corners. Once they're unscrewed, the front cover will lift off. With the cover off, you should be able to see a couple of empty 12v slots at the bottom of the panel. You'll also see where the 12v (+) wires enter the converter from the rear. The 12v (-) tie ins are in the cabinet behind the converter. Just screw-in your wires and add a fuse and you'll be set. Of course, I recommend that you unplug your R-POD and disconnect the battery before you begin.

OK. Know that I'm a tad dense. It's finding that empty slot in the converter that I'm having problems with. And I bet you're just the person that can tell me how.

I've installed a couple in our RP-171 - I tied them into an empty slot on the converter. It was a fairly easy mod, actually.

I need to install a 12v (cigarette lighter) outlet to power my Cpap machine. Anyone done this? I know it's not hard but I seem to be challenged.
