Since it operates on 12V power, simply add a 12V power outlet and use a 12V cord to power it. That is what I do with my CPAP machine (Phillips Respironics Sytem One). Search for "DeVilbiss DV54D 12V power cord" and you will come up with links to suppliers who will sell you one.
The 120V power supply supplies 12V power to the device. Running an inverter is a waste. Why use an inverter to convert 12V DC to 120V AC in order to use the power supply to convert the 120V AC to 12V DC? It makes much more sense to get the 12V power cord and just run it direct on the 12V DC your R-Pod's battery supplies.
It is not that difficult to install a 12V outlet. It is one of the first mods I made along with a shelf on which it can sit. See my mods by following the link in my signature and you can see it. I have since changed it out for a double 12V plus USB power outlet in that location and added a single 12V outlet near the TV antenna connection. I'll have to get around to posting those mods.
