My husband had throat cancer and cannot eat or swallow and is on a J/G feeding tube in his stomach. He feeds during the night with a Kangaroo pump. Does anyone here have this problem and still RV? We hope to go to Arizona this winter and it looks like the feeding pump will go with us. I would appreciate any suggestions or hints to help us. Thanks.

There should be no problem using the pump on the road. It really doesn't use much power so even with an invertor, you should be good.
Also, can your husband use a gravity feed kangaroo bag rather than go through a pump? This is what we did for a while.

We had tried the gravity feeding bag, but due to the fact that the feeding goes directly into his intestines through the J part, it would take 3 hours per feeding and it was recommended that we use a pump throughout the night. Otherwise, we were spending most of the daytime feeding him and it limited our activities. Good to know that it won't take much electricity. Thank you.
