The correct solar panels are going to depend on the amount of power your CPAP machine and appliances use, but based on some research I did, it looks like most of these machines are going to need in the neighborhood of 40 to 50 amp hours per night.
Based on that and the fact you want to run a couple other appliances I recommend the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 400 Watt Solar Panels # GP39MR.
This will give you the amp hours needed for a full night of using your CPAP machine, plus some small appliance use. I do recommend checking out the help articles I linked below for more information on the amount of power you might need.
