Not sure about the cost of this but I think you would be better off in the long run to get CPAP machines that run directly off 12 V and then just increase your battery capacity if needed.
Or check the wattage of your present machines and get a small inverter to power just IT from an existing 12 V outlet.
Feeding an inverter into the whole RV is probably not a good idea; too easy to overload it.

I have no DC outlets anywhere in my 30' thor wanderer that I can find. I have lots of nice AC outlets just where I need them. And those pretty little AC outlets only work when the trailer is plugged into a 30 power source. Getting a DC plug for my CPAP is pretty easy to do, but it won't help me unless I pay an electrician to run DC outlets.
