The OP's observation isn't unique to Airstream, but very common with most trailers regardless of brand.
The lack of a 12V bedroom adapter does suprise me that given that:
1) virtually ALL current CPAP's will run off 12V, on exception is mine that needs 24V but again, that's easy peasy with a 12V-24V DC-DC converter
2) a reasonable % of adults need a CPAP
3) running a CPAP off an inverter uses noticeably more power than 12V due to inverter losses and CPAP PS losses given they run of 12/24V even when plugged into 120V
that trailer mfg even if they do have a 12V outlet, seldom have one in the bedroom and often not even an easy place to put a CPAP.
But more and more trailers are adding a boatload of USB plugs all over the trailer.
So if you have a USB port, pull it out and put in a dual USB/12V port.
