Let's wait for a 2018 Melbourne owner to chime in. I'd **think** you would have one. But who knows? With the coach unplugged and with the generator NOT running, can you power on the TV?
If you can - then you've got an inverter.
Even if you do, know that the outlet (singular) or outlets (just a few) that are powered from the Inverter may not be in a convenient spot for the CPap machine.

I don't have that controller but it most likely means that the battery voltage is 12.4V. 12.4V is a battery that's just about full. I'm going to guess it was dark outside when you saw the 12.4V. If it wasn't dark, if the sun was shining brightly, then I think we need to read the manual.

I don't understand what you're asking.

I think you'd want to look up the wattage on your machine and then consider something like: a portable power station. Jackery, GoPower, etc.
