I too, use a CPAP. I saved a lot of juice (roughly 20%) by getting rid of the 120-volt cord and going with a 12-volt adapter cord. The other thing, I leave the heated tube at home and have a tube with a fleece sleeve. That saves amps... lots of amps. As in a third the power needs.

The CPAP I've got "DreamStation by Philips" reads DC Power Consumption: 12 VDC, 6.67A but I've never measured to confirm. It never came with a heated tube otherwise the rating would be a lot higher.
That's the CPAP I use. When you plug in the tube, I think you'll see it has an electronic connection.
Solar? I have a 100-watt Renogy flexible on the roof and a 30-watt panel on the tongue box.
Your 100w Renogy plus a 30w on your tongue box, do you find it sufficient to keep your battery charged up..? You mentioned earlier that you were running a group 24 AGM. What's the ah rating on it, 75ah or 100ah..?
The battery is rated at 70 amps, so it has 35 useable amps
Mine reads 12 VDC, 6.67A
