I'm looking for some economical ideas to power a cpap machine multiple nights.

Portable power station. Bluetti, Jackery, etc.
My brother has outlets in his cargo hauler and runs a portable generator for it.

I have a ResMed Air 10 DC-DC converter that I used when I had sleep apnea. Hooked up 12 volt car battery or plug in to cig lighter outlet. If if would work for you I will let it go for a fair price.
You can rent battery powered units. Usually a month minimum. I considered renting a travel unit for an upcoming cruise. You had to have a credit card deposit of about $400 that's refunded when returned. A month would cost, net, about $150.

I ran mine on a Princess cruise, just had to request a cord, but it ran fine.
I'm taking my A/C powered machine but I considered renting a travel unit. In my research,I found units that were battery powered. I decided to take my own as the travel units don't have water containers. They recycle your breath for moisture.

I don't know about recycled air, doesn't sound good to me. You can request water and a cord from the cruise line usually because, at least the ship we were on, the outlets were not by the bed.
I have a jackery that I keep beside the bed in case of power outages. Also use it when hunting out west for elk. Works well and has other uses.
Do you charge it with a solar panel out west?
A few years ago I powered my buddy's CPAP with my trolling battery and an inverter for 2 nights.
I use the truck to charge. But I can get 2 to 3 nights off a charge if not using heater on cpap.
What size Jackery?

Talent cel 24 v battery off Amazon and a resmed Airmini. With a resmed power cord that can be picked up from several sites. Will power the cpap 2-3 nights. Maybe even 4 depending on the number of hours slept and pressure it has to run.
