Nice setup. I have 2 of those AOC monitors and they are awesome. Here is a higher resolution one which I have on my wish list. I assume it would use more power. The AOCs I have came with the double USB cable, and some ports supply enough power with just 1, other times I need to plug into a second port. I have a couple ancient external USB CD drives that are the same way.
Did my first stream that was kind of a disaster but could behave been worse. At least got a view of the Moon. Here's a screenshot.
Here's my equipment (some not shown):

I got this battery pack off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3S00H0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pretty small in size and works well for an overnight camping trip with no humidifier.
Consider picking up one of these.100-Watt Portable Generator Power Station, 40800mAh 151Wh CPAP Battery Pack, Home Camping Emergency Power Supply Charged by Solar Panel/Wall Outlet/Car with Dual 110V AC Inverter, DC 12V, USB Ports https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3S00H0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_A6FgDb4QJNARH
Power outages occur.
Hands down the best camping, long-term portable charger I've owned. I purchased this charger for LIB 3 years ago & have taken it on every road trip and camping music festival since! Fully charge it before your trip. It keeps our phones at full charge for the whole event! (4-6 days). I'm sure this is contingent on how many people you share it with and how often you need a full charge (we did about 2 a day with 3 people).

So that site says it's 5.2 amp hours in size. So 5200 mAh. I have one of these that I got on a lightning deal for $99.99 and an adapter for my cpap that allows me to go from DC to DC instead of DC to AC to DC again, making the battery last much much longer.
And it's only 3.3 pounds. Sure it's a little bigger and heavier, but might be great for saving money plus 7 to 8 times the juice. I know medical suppliers LOVE to jack up the price on everything.
I have a resmed 10 and will be camping this weekend. I will be using this battery. To get maximum performance you'll need the DC power supply.
A few reviews indicate you can get a good two nights sleep without recharging when running D.C., one night on AC. I'll report back with my findings next week.
Edit. You can connect a solar panel directly to this battery for 'unlimited' use.
I have sleep apnea too and have thought about the deep cycle route until I found this

Considering getting one for when we can't find a spot with electricity.
I would probably set up some LED lights in a fairly permanent manner and then simply carry a battery pack out to power them whenever I'm entertaining. It'll probably power a bunch of LED lights and a radio all night long, but worst case, you buy two batteries to get through your longer parties.
It's not as fancy as an overkill solar set would be, but it's much, much simpler. You could have it all ready to go in time for tonight's party.
Ummm maybe the reason that nobody else wants to listen to a friggin' generator of any size at a campground described as 'deep woods'?
also for OP, even [one of these](https://www.amazon.com/100-Watt-Portable-Generator-Emergency-Inverter/dp/B01M3S00H0) will only give you an hour or two to power a fan of useful size.

I went to an auto parts store and bought a portable car jump starter battery, similar to this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002J8LMVC/ref=psdc_318336011_t3_B000JFHNQA
That was a couple of years ago, and now there are even more impressive things for sale. If I were to buy today, I'd probably get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3S00H0?psc=1
It even says "CPAP Machine" in the supported devices list. The basic premise is that I knew my CPAP machine runs on approximately 12 volts DC, and I knew that most starter batteries supply about 13.5 volts when charged up. Since most of the electronics in the machine will run on less power (not sure how much less, but there's always some give), I figured that a strong starter battery would be good.
Car batteries are large, not because they have to deliver a lot of voltage, but because they have to deliver large amperage, lots of power at one time, without dropping too low in voltage. Since I knew that the CPAP machine would use a little power for a longish time, I didn't need a huge, heavy battery.
Doing some math, 12 volts at 2 amps is 24 watts. That's nothing, really. The CPAP battery for my unit is just under 100 Wh, with an output range of 9 to 12.6 volts. So, that jumpstarted battery for half the price with 150 Wh of capacity at 12 volts is almost 3 times the value.
This one I got off Amazon. It's pretty good, if I were to buy another I probably would have sprung for something with a little more power output but this works fine for charging all my devices.

You might want to consider something like this: 100-Watt Portable Generator Power Inverter, 40800mAh 150Wh Battery Pack UPS Power Supply Charged by 100 Watt Solar Panel/Wall Outlet/Car with Dual 110V AC Outlet, 3 DC 12V Ports, USB Ports https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3S00H0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vFYwzb4WJZ1SP
I plan to use the 330WH version for camping
Car camping - get a deep cycle AGM battery (available in many sizes, depending on how long you want to go without charging) and a DC adapter for your machine. More info
Backpacking - you're going to have to get creative. There are a lot of commercial lithium cpap batteries out there that are much lighter than lead acid per watt, but you'll only get a night or two from one of them, and they're very expensive. Your best bet is a general purpose Lithium battery with a 12V output combined with a 12V cpap (or 12v DC adapter if your machine is 24V). Here's an example.
It'll require a little bit of custom work but you can definitely power it off of a battery.
A pre-packaged battery will give you the easiest installation / charging options. Make sure it offers 12v DC outputs like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3S00H0/
Then you'll want to convert the 12v DC to 24v DC (the lightstrip plus runs on 24v) using a regulator like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085T97PW/
Aside from that, all you'll need are a couple of barrel plugs to connect the regulator between the battery and Hue controller. I'm not 100% sure of the barrel plug sizes, I expect the 12v side (battery output) to use a 5.5mm X 2.1mm barrel plug but I'm not sure which size the Hue controller requires as input.
sounds like hell tbh. I got a blood clot in my left leg after a much shorter flight, so not a big fan of such trips. I believe that some airlines won't let us plug in a cpap to their power systems. Some people use something like this for camping, and it could be small enough for air travel (haven't tried it for that, although I own one) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3S00H0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was in a similar situation as you. We do quite a bit of camping and our family has a non-electrified cabin we use for hunting. I recently bought this "Generator". It's probably no conducive to hiking as it is pretty heavy and it's an extra item to have to carry. However, for camping it works great. I use it with my Resmed AirSense 10 and it lasts me at least 3 nights per charge. It's nice and compact and can be charged with your vehicle. I got mine for $99 and I couldn't be happier. It's a much cheaper option than having to buy an entire second CPAP or having to buy one of the "official" battery packs.
Thanks for all the suggestions, definitely appreciated. I've discovered this 110V battery powerpack on Amazon and will test it out next week. It weighs under 3.5lbs so no 60-70lb marine battery monster but provides 40,800mah. Also self contained so no separate converter, less to carry, less to forget. Hopefully it can recharge the 3DR battery enough to make the expense worth it.
Note to drone/quadcopter people in the industry; please make your charging more versatile and real world convenient. Thank you.
I wonder if insurance would cover a mini pap as the primary machine. Re battery use, doesn’t the z1 have a battery pack that fits around it as a shell? Also, check this out—lithium battery with inverter. You can take 12 volts off it which will power many cpaps without conversion. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3S00H0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought a battery. It generally only lasts 8 hours. That is about all i sleep when camping.

It’s possible with all the right parts but I would advise against it. Unless you know what you’re doing, messing with that many batteries in series is dangerous. I would recommend getting a prebuilt battery pack/ inverter combo like this
I bought this one:

It works when I need it to. I have only used it one night at a time, but it had the juice to power my CPAP with humidifier all night.
/u/naturalorange has you on the right track.
Here is the link to the firmware update and instructions for the scanner: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/BCD536HPFirmwareUpdate
What area of the country are you in and what type of things do you like to listen to? The type of radio systems in your area will give us a better idea of the best type of antenna to use. A discone is the best type to cover everything reasonably well, but you can think of it like a crossover car. Not very good at being a car, truck or van, but just ok. If your area only has 800MHz digital radio systems, a discone won't be your best choice.
The 536 doesn't have an internal battery, but because it runs on 12v DC you can wire it directly to a car battery. It can be permanently installed in a car, or you could power it during a power outage or emergency that way. Another option is a DC battery booster like a car jump pack. The 536 draws between a half and 3/4amp normally when on, so a small emergency battery pack like this will power the scanner for about 2 days before needing to be recharged.
