Of course this would require figuring out a way to recharge the power pack while dry camping. Trying to best prepare for the future of dry camping and have officially went down the rabbit hole of generators, solar, battery banks etc. Any help is appreciated, my head is spinning.
We just bought prymax power pack to run our Cpaps (my wife and I both use Cpaps) the one we bought has two 110v outlets on it.

CPAP Usage

We take a good deep cycle battery. Have dc/Ac converter from cpap mfger hooked to cpap.
Recharge with solar panel. Use humidifier. Doesn’t interfere with camper nor truck battery. With no solar, Can go on battery alone for up to 3 days.

Maxoak battery pack

We researched the options and bought a Maxoak K5 battery pack on Amazon.

MAXOAK CPAP Battery Backup CPAP Power Bank for Airsense 10 Resmed S9 Philip REMstar System one 60 50 Dreamstation Z1 Aircurve Transcend Mini Travel Camping Emergency Power DC12/15/24V&USB5V https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N8G8C7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_L6P-EbNJ7NDCA

This unit has worked perfectly for us. It lasts Three 8-10 Hour nights on a full charge as long as you turn off the humidity and tube heater. We recharge ours with our generator.

I have a portable 250 watt battery power pack that I use with my dream station. I tested the DC cord and AC cord with it. I can get about 3 8hr nights with the DC and 1.5 nights with the AC. I can charge the battery pack in my car or with my solar power kit.

I've been using this box for about 8 years for two 6-volt batteries... still good as new. Different sizes available. Approved by USCG for marine, so it has to be tough.

Which NoCo are you using?

I contacted them last year and they didn’t want to say it would be viable for CPAP. If it works for you then Iplan to get one.
