Hi there, can anyone recommend a power pack that will run a CPAP machine for a couple of nights fishing ? Will just be for the CPAP machine I've got another power bank for phones and lights etc.

Jay Mungo uses their large power pack to run his I believe. Perhaps drop him a message on Facebook

1.0 – 1.5A, 100 – 240V, 50 – 60Hz I took that off the website, not sure what it means though lol

Exactly what it says, power supply needs to be somewhere between 100-240v AC. You're not going to get that off of any power bank type thing. You'd have to investigate what is available for the caravaning world.

There are plenty of 240v supplying power stations available
A typical cpap machine may average at about 40w
A cheapish power station with 320 watt hours would run this for up to 8 hours
Realistically with some losses of power conversion and maybe the cpap running at a higher wattage, the above may more realistically be 6 to 7 hours. If you want a couple of nights use and say 12 to 14 hours is enough then you'd maybe need 2 X 320WH power stations or one single bigger one.
Examples from amazon
320Wh

Blimey, we're supposed to be going fishing and getting away from modern life.
I'm not sure if working from home is a good thing, but if you are going to take all of your office to the bank then that's a step too far IMO.
Life was so much simpler when you used to go to work and fish on days when you didn't have work.

I think you might have misunderstood what the original poster was asking for.
If he's taking a CPAP machine into the office then I want a job like his, cos it sounds very relaxing.

OK, I am out in the open !
I too have SOSA and use a CPAP all the time even whilst Fishing.
I generally Fish for between 2 and 10 nights at a time and the only viable solution I have come up with is a 12v lead from a company called Hope2sleep and a 12 volt leisure battery and couple them together with a female cigarette type socket on to crocodile clips and I have never ran out of power. It is incredibly heavy and awkward however, the only solution for me.
I hope this helps.

I too suffer with obstructive sleep apnoea, but only generally fish for two nights at a time and for that I will just live without my cpap machine. My case may not be as severe as yours though. At my last overnight sleep study, I stopped breathing 40 times an hour, which is every 90 seconds.
