I'd buy the beefiest powerbank with passthrough charging I could find and the highest wattage cigarette USB charger to connect it to.
I use a Renogy Battery pack rated for 266Wh with my steamdeck. Lasts all day for me.

Edit2:
Turns out the USB C PD cable was a bust: My Anker power pack doesn't support 12v output: only 5, 9, and 15 volts.
Currently looking at this powerbank as an option as it's got good reviews from CPAP users and is less than half the cost of the ones from CPAP.com
I bought a deep cycle marine battery- it works well but is big and HEAVY. I just purchased this powerbank this is listed as compatible with my machine - Renogy 72000mAh 266Wh 12v Power... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791WDZTW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. It arrived and is currently charging. It’s much smaller and lighter weight than my battery. Hope it works!!
I have experience! I car camp a lot and use a cpap for severe sleep apnea. I got this portable battery and I love it, it’ll power for nearly a week or so until you get the chance to charge it (needs an adapter for cpap). Also works with solar panels! It’s been incredibly useful for me with charging phones and other stuff as well

I'm using a renogy 72000 mah battery pack with my C302. I've so far been able to recharge while I'm using it 5x.

I found this on aliexpress under "Portable Charger 60000mah Waterproof External Battery Backup Powerbank 60000 mah Phone Battery Charger Emergency Power Bank" but it's no longer available.
Similar one here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-72000mAh-Portable-Generator-Technology/dp/B0791WDZTW"
I have an Breas Z2 travel CPAP and am running it on a Renogy 72000 MAH power bank (see amazon link)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791WDZTW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've been able to successfully get 5 nights on the CPAP (at 8psi) out of this power bank running off of the regulated 12 volt port (not the 12 volt cigarette lighter port). After 5 nights it still showed half of the battery left. That battery bank is amazing. Basically a small solar generator without the 110 inverter.
The 12 volt cord that comes with the power bank works perfect for the Z2 without any need for the 12 volt adapter that Breas sells. A big plus is that this battery bank is SIGNIFCANTLY cheaper than what you can buy for the Z2 which will only get you one night at best
​
Edit: I forgot to mention that the CPAP, Mask and Battery bank weigh in at 4.5 pounds. I've actually taken this setup backpacking and it works wonderfully.
I power it with this battery pack. It'll usually run my machine for 2-3 nights before needing a charge, but I just top it off every day.
Is this the battery pack you got?:https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-72000mAh-Portable-Generator-Technology/dp/B0791WDZTW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I40KYSYLDJF8&dchild=1&keywords=72000mah%2Bbattery&qid=1594867558&sprefix=72000%2Bma%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1&th=1
The panel may be at 15v, but the charge controller is at 5V/9V/12V on output. The listing is inconsistent though, so I would steer away.
Basically the end output voltage is determined by the charge controller and the panels can be a variety of voltages, especially give the fact their voltage output changes based on how much light is hitting them.
As the other comment said, if you go to a lot of festivals, $200 isn't that much of an investment.
Reading reviews, this battery paired with a DC cord like this for your machine will be your best bet. A couple reviews mention 6 nights of use on a full charge, which is pretty great for the price.
You're going to get the best efficiency, and thus the longest runtime, if you stick to DC power, like the DC power cord I linked. Using an inverter to go to AC, which your machine will just convert back to DC, really eats into the runtime.
Hope it works out for you!
I have this battery that only weight 3 pounds and I was able to use it for my CPAP for 25 hours with no heat or humidity. Way better than a heavy marine battery.
This post and this other post might be helpful to you. Converting the DC power to USB-C seems to be the easiest way of getting the psone to work with a power bank. Then you would just need a power bank with enough juice to work with the playstation.
Not sure how far you want to go, but this should last most of the trip

This is my setup. A battery and an adapter. It ran my Airsense 10 with the humidifier off for three days.

Edit- I do need a different power cord to use the battery- one with battery clamps. That same charger has the cigarette lighter adapter that I need for the new battery. Either way, an extra/different power cord is needed.
Here’s the power cord I use- https://www.thecpapshop.com/airsense-10-dc-power-converter?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplp37297&sc_intid=37297&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZaVBhA6EiwAVVyv9Lrufb9S1GFIG0nK0Q1MMoh8oBPNMYXrqOp-a24BL4jzCOSa-MTJjRoCM8MQAvD_BwE#
I’ve used the marine battery for 4 nights without a problem and I did not turn off the humidifier
I have used a deep cycle boat battery for years and am tired of lugged it around. It has to weigh 40 pounds at least. I upgraded to this. I also ordered this adapter. It’s summer here and warm so I turned off the heated hose and the humidifier and got 25 hours. And it’s not heavy!!! Definitely worth looking into and cheaper than many of the other options. I have an AirSense10 with an air pressure of 10.

Renogy, but, from the photos, looks very similar to the gosun.
It may be overkill but I don't think I'd say it strikes a food balance between portability, functionality, and capacity.
My only complaint or concern is in regard to the DC output (barrel-shaped). It's rated to output 72 watts. So it's fine for anything less such a common 60w laptop, but my astronomy laptop is rated for 90w. That said, this power bank still works with it... probably because it isn't drawing 90w most of the time. My Acer F5 has a GeForce 950m with 4gigs...
So basically, my guess is that my laptop doesn't use 90 watts unless it is both charging the battery and running the good GPU under high load at the same time. I really ought to test it with my kill-a-watt meter or something but as long as the power bank doesn't burst into flames I'm a happy camper (which is the literal usage scenario).
Anyway, beyond that doubles as a flashlight and has a wireless charing pad (if you enjoy charging things slowly or without a case). Do your research, I'd feel bad for inspiring an impulse buy that doesn't meet your needs but I'm definitely happy that I found it.

Yes, and I use this. You can get a lot more time out of it if you don’t use the humidifier. But I’ve used mine for 3 nights with humidifier without issue.
This one is pretty expensive, but it will do 3 amps at 12v (or 15 amps at 12v if you use the cigarette lighter port with an adapter):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791WDZTW
​
The USB ports can do 2-3 amps each at 9v, so with the correct adapters you could easily run your whole setup from this thing and have power to spare.
​
There are probably cheaper options that will work, too.
I just found this list of ten of the most powerful powerbanks, up to this Renogy 72,000mAh unit. There are supposedly 80,000mAh and 100,000mAh powerbanks, but I haven't found any reputable ones, and they seem to be fake. If you need even more power, there are portable powerstations.
Man, I always forget I have a Discord. I just downloaded it and looked for you, but couldn't find you so I'll post what I have here. Btw, my screen name there is different than here.
Oh yeah, you're definitely gonna have enough parts to figure everything out. How much did that cost you? I just spent $80 on a used Wii with all accessories that was working perfectly with 2 MotionPlus controllers and I feel like that was a good deal considering those controllers now are like $55-70 each nowadays.
I've always wanted a 3D printer but felt like it's hard to justify that expense to myself unless I am constantly doing projects (which I'm not). A portable Wii case sounds like a perfect use for one though.
I'm paranoid too, but that video showed me how hard it is to set it up properly, let alone change it lol. I haven't been able to find another USB C in that supports the same specs, so that might be the best bet. I'd just stick a piece of electrical tape over the button or something if I'm worried about hitting it accidentally. The only thing you have to get worried about getting messed up when it's sitting in storage are headphones.
I don't know enough about the Wii Mini so I'm not sure if this applies, but I know the standard Wii won't work if you disconnect the DVD drive. Even if you remove it, you have to leave the PCB connected.
Do you have any ideas for a decent power bank? One if the issues I'm having is that the official Nintendo AC adapter says is supplies 12V @ 3.7A DC, which would be about 44 watts, but I've seen both on this sub and this video that actual power draw is closer to 20 watts, which is obviously a huge difference. I'm planning on running my Wii with an external hardrive that's probably close to 2 Watts per hour and a seperate monitor that is 5V @ 2A off the same power brick, so I will need it to output somewhere between 30 watts - 57 watts. I have other power bricks but they won't output at 12V. I found this, which is great since it will last for 4.5 hours conservatively, nearly double that if the power draw of the Wii is what I think it is, but that price is way too high for a hobby project. Honestly, even just a couple hours use is usable, especially if it allows for passthrough charging while in the car. Even if the power draw of the power bank charger is less than the Wii, pass through charging could make a discharging battery last upto 5 times longer than it's supposed to.
This is getting closer. Tons of power, half the price of a lot of them out there. - Again the tool batteries could do this - Same damn batteries - https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-72000mAh-Portable-Generator-Technology/dp/B0791WDZTW/
Firstly, when you are running on battery, you always want to use the DC power cable for your machine. Going through an inverter causes a lot of efficiency loss and will cut the available run time in half (or worse). Secondly The Resmed operates at 24v DC and isn't as energy efficient as any other CPAP that operates at 12v, even with using a DC power cable, because it has to convert 12v battery power into 24v. Thirdly most DC power cables use a cigarette plug (the same outlet that is in your car) so if you can find a battery system with a cigarette outlet will be the easiest to use. Just to let you know, batteries are rated in watt-hours (wh) and is the true measure of how much power they contain. Car batteries are rated in amp-hours (ah), but if you take the ah x 12 = wh rating. Even the smallest car batteries tend to be high wh rated, but you said you want a prebuilt solution. I got a whole list of ready made answers for you that have the cigarette outlet.
The top of the line gold standard for battery systems in the Goal Zero line. Something like the Goal Zero Yeti Lithium 400 will last you days of use. I own it and on my Dreamstation I can get over 11 days without using the humidifier. Again you will get less with a Resmed and even less with using your humidifier. If money was no issue they make even larger versions in 1000, 1400, and 3000 varieties. I find the 400 more than perfect for 7-10 day camping trips and it's about the size of a large lunch box.
Renogy sells two power banks that are rated for 222wh for $140 and 266wh for $160.
If you want something even smaller Easyacc makes a battery rated for 144wh for $71. I also own this battery and it will last me 4.5 nights. Other people have told me they have bought this battery but they only get about 2 days on a Resmed.
Other options are Jackery makes several power banks with the cigarette outlet. 240wh for $250, a 500wh for $500. One you start looking at Amazon at the Jackery line, you will see there are a whole slew of chinese knockoffs that run the gambit. The only thing I would say about those, stay away anything that looks like this shape, those are utter crap, and there are a whole slew of things that look just like that (or really similar).
Edit. I wanted to add, if you want to use your humidifier while on battery, you can dramatically reduce the power consumption by starting with warm water. The humidifier uses a lot of power when you initially turn the machine on, to heat the cold water up. If you start with warm water, it won't need as much energy to simply maintain the temperature. We are not talking boiling water, just warm to very warm.
Actually, I have a raspberry Pi Zero that I connected up to a 50000mAh power bank that has 2 USB 2.0 ports along with the portable monitor. Worked great actually but who knows if it could be sustained for long periods. Unfortunately running Raspbian was a bit slow even for adding data to spreadsheets and such so I was thinking maybe I would get a Raspberry pi 3B+ rather than a 4, not sure. I found a 72000mAh power bank that looks like it might do the job for 6 hours at least.

I will definitely post about for the pi peeps and see what they come up with. Yeah sure I can update the post here.
I just got 3 full nights easy with this:

I ended up finding this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791WDZTW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also bought the DC 12V adapter for my Respironics System one.
3 full nights easy with some phone charging as well. Worked like a champ. I know some of the reviews of this device say it only worked once, and I only the one experience but we shall see.
