There's a group camping trip coming up and I don't feel like torturing my son anymore with a sleepless night because of my snoring.

Looking for a solution to camp for 2 nights. What's out there that works and what's a gimmick?

Tony.

If you have power tools like Dewalt or ryobi they all have small inverters that work off their batteries that should be able to power a cpap over night.

Another option is a medium sized power bank.

Yep. I’ve camped with one for years. I currently use a ResMed AirMini with a two night battery. Before that I used a Transcend, which was small enough to backpack with.

There are a number of choices here. I recommend looking for a travel CPAP that will work with a large Li-ion battery like a GoalZero, Jackery, Anker or other battery. I found out too late that the ResMed won’t.

ETA: Discovered the 12v output on the GoalZero Yeti is under-specced without an adapter. Pick a different battery if you need it for more than two nights.

Often while hunting. Honda 1000 watt generator and a long extension cord.

Well I'll order a 12v adapter and see what power options are out there. I can't afford the mini-CPAP. That's a lot of coin.

Tony,
Make sure your CPAP uses 12v. Some need a 24V DC converter like the ResMed 10.
Here's a few threads that might be informative:

I take a battery with me elk hunting, horse seems ok with a bit more weight . Lithium battery about the size of a loaf of bread. It’ll go a bit over 20 hrs. Set your unit to the most efficient mode. I believe you can get something at Harbor Freight that will work nicely.

Think about secondary uses before buying it. Mine will keep the deep freeze running or the Traeger long enough to do ribs with charge to spare.

If you turn off the humidifier the battery will last much longer.

I have one of those so-called Solar Generators. Jackery 1000 I think it is. I really like it.

Last Black Friday I got a 100 amp hour LiFePO battery and a folding suitcase 200 watt solar panel. It's heavy, probably 30 pounds or so. It's very durable, unlike those cheap folding solar panels that don't last very long.

I also bought the 12 volt plug in cord for my CPAP.

I probably spent more than you might want to for camping, but I also use this setup to power my home and portable ham radio setup.
.

I picked up The Anker 535 power station for camping with my cpap. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 and a 12volt adapter cord which pulls less juice than taming the powder up to 110v.

The cpap is a 12v product anyway. Also don’t use the humidifier when camping. Probably could have saved money and gin with the smaller battery but did not want to chance running out of power in the middle of the night.

You could also use the Anker battery to charge your cell phone.

Anker has the batteries on sale. See the link

I follow an overlander on YT, and his channel is JonDZ. He uses various makes and models of portable power stations for his CPAP. Every now and then, he’ll show the power station’s readout, showing how much power the CPAP and other devices use during the night.

We will do the same thing when I can get my wife out camping since she’s on the ‘PAP, too. I haven’t chosen a brand yet, and it is even possible I may just get one of those small generators instead or in addition to.

He seems to prefer the EcoFlow PRo ($479) as it is included in his video of a one week packout.
But here's his dedicated video about power stations:
