DW has a CPAP machine that runs on 12VDC, either from the coach batteries or via an AC adapter. She has used it for two or three nights, dry camping in the RV, without recharging the coach batteries (two 6V Trojan T-105s).
So, based on personal experience, yes, it CAN be done.
"My husband and I both use CPAP machines. We would like to be able to boondock one night if we needed to while traveling. We have a 2015 Passport 23RB Elite. Are we equipped to boondock? Due to my husbands brain surgery we have to keep it simple and easy to accomplish. Can someone help me with this?"
At the risk of seeming uncaring and rude, I respectfully suggest that you need to educate yourself on your CPAP machines, and on battery use. There are many resources available on the 'net, and your machine supplier/prescriber should be able to furnish all the information you need about the power requirements of your machines.
Not that I think you would be likely to use such an excuse, but the old bit that "Oh, I am old, and female, and I just can't learn such things!" won't wash today. My feeling is that you would be greatly offended if somebody were to say you would use such a ridiculous excuse. Anybody who can drive any RV can learn to manage the 12VDC power system!
