GeeGee,
You're on the right track. The first thing you need to do is add a second battery if you only have one, like I mentioned above. For your generator, a 2000 watt generator is all you need to keep the batteries charged up, but IF you need air conditioning, you will need a 3000 watt INVERTOR generator with Honda, Yamaha, and Champion all being good reliable brands. The Champion will be a bit cheaper, with the Honda and Yamaha being the most expensive. All 3 will work fine for you. As to the 12v cigarette socket adapter socket, you may or may not need that, and you probably already have a 12v cigarette adapter plug in your trailer somewhere, but that also depends on how the cpap machine has to be powered so we need to know if it can run off 12 volts or needs to run off 120 volts.
