don't run the humidifier (or get a passover type) and don't use the heated hose and it will run a long time.

x2. and virtually all CPAP/BiPAP machines sold in the U.S. today run on either 12V or 24V ALL the time. the wall cord either has a converter built in, or there is a internal 120VAC to DC converter. So..... there is in virtually all cases an DC input as well. Most will run directly on 12V, many resmed units run on 24VDC. In either case the mfg or aftermarket sell adapters for 12V to run the unit. Resmed adapters are a 12v-24V converter.
so..... if you have a 12V cig lighter port in the trailer your set.
Also there are lithium battery packs for CPAP units that will run most units for 2 nights as long as the humidifier and tube heater are off. One night otherwise.
