12 volt power outlet

I need to create a 12 volt power outlet near the bed in the rear of our Jayco Class C. Have to provide for a CPAP hookup. Any suggestions on how yo do it? We have dual house batteries in a compartment on the driver's side under the bedroom floor.

    My immediate thoughts are to wire an outlet right next to a reading light, but not sure how much power a cpap requires. If it's significant power, you'd be better off runni g a dedicated fused line.
