I am wanting to know if the trailer outlets run off the batteries. Is there an inverter/converter/doohickie that allows the batteries to power the outlets? I need to run a CPAP machine at night, and...

MexicoWanderer is giving you the best info. My experience has been that I can run the ResMed S8 CPAP for 3-4 nights easy, and that includes using the humidifier which is what uses most of the juice. I use the ResMed 12v unit which plugs into the 12V port on the S8, costs about $75, and plug that into a 12V extension cord which goes into the 12V outlet near the TV. Buy the extension cord at a truck stop like Pilot, etc Plenty of power at my TV outlet, 7A according to the sticker beside it.
Like mentioned above, unplug the CPAP 120VAC cord, and DO NOT plug the CPAP directly into 12V without the factory adapter, unless your particular brand of CPAP specifically says thats OK.
I have a ResMed S9 machine, on a sticker it has DC 24V, 1.25A(FG), 3.75A(Sys).
Not sure what that means... does that 24V mean it cannot be run off a 12V battery bank?
I have an adapter I use on long car rides to power a portable DVD player for my kids...how can I tell if it is the right kind to use with my CPAP? or is it an issue?
