Just to add to the confusion, the newer CPAPs are no longer 12v as far as I know. I did a test run on one last year, it was 24v. I inquired. They said they were all going that way.
I have been using CPAP for years. Yes, the newer ones are 24V but you can always buy a 12V DC power supply from the manufacturer. In the old days, it's just a cigarette lighter cord to plug in the machine. The newer ones comes with a brick (believe it's a small inverter) with a 12V plug at the input end. It also provides a cable with two battery clamps for hooking up to a 12V car battery directly.
I know how it is sleeping on the wrong side of the bed. It just doesn't feel right. My one & only 12V outlet in my TT is at the bedroom ceiling at the wrong side of the bed. When boondocking, I have to switch side with DW so that the power cord doesn't dangle across the bedroom. Adding a 12V outlet to my side of bed is slowly floating to the top of "TO Do LIST" and I have one on order arriving next week. I am all thumbs when it comes to electrical stuff. Wish me luck!
