How would you blow this up if you are camping with no electricity? Is there no way to use the car to turn on the pump?

This will work for youBESTEK® 75W Power Inverter DC 12v to 110v AC Car inverter DC Adapter

my guess would be that you would need to buy an adapter that plugs into the car

Since I had no luck with electricity, I would hate to depend on the car battery. However I did not specifically look or attempt to do that. Considering we had no luck keeping either of the beds inflated at all in the house. Again a very poor purchase by us, and an even poorer product.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

Yes, taking it to the gas station works best! We used it at my family reunion this summer, and despite my husband's protests, we stopped and inflated it with an air compressor. It took just seconds, however it didn't leave much room in the backseat for the rest of my family after it was inflated:)

I haven't thought about that yet, since it's only my first year in August. My guess is take it outside and blow it off with a compressor or if you don't have one; take it to the nearest gas station where they fill up air for tires and blow it off

Hi Mary, we used a pump. We used an electric one that we plunged into an outlet. I believe it was a Coleman? Our battery one wasn't that strong. We pumped it up at the camp then carried it down to the lake.

Yes - If you plug the pump into your car or standard outlet, you can immediately inflate your bed. It will draw power from your car battery or household electricity.

It is possible to bypass the built-in electric pump by using either a manual pump or a battery powered pump. The included instructions show that this is possible. If you look at the photo that shows the pump, you can see a hole through the middle of the dial (which is used to inflate/deflate the bed). The pump that you end up using must have a hose outlet that can fit through that hole. As for camping, please make sure you have a large enough tent - this is a big bed. Yes, it's only a twin size, but it's quite high off the ground.

It is not battery powered with no way to divert from the power cord. Can be used for camping if have access to power.

I bought a pump that plugs into the car. You could blow it up with your mouth, but it's pretty big for that.

No. I chose the separate electric pump (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PURX6/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or you can also choose a battery operated one if you want to take the bed camping.

I've used this type here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WEMMUK/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i05?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You definitely need an electric pump for the side walls, otherwise you'll be pumping all day. Even with the electric one, it takes almost 30mins to be fully inflated and the pump gets very hot. I usually shut it off half way through and give it a break for a few minutes. The floor doesn't take long at all and is a nice thing to have so you don't feel all the rocks and "unevenness" of the ground. I jimmy-rigged the pump to a spare 12V computer power supply with some 12 gauge electrical wires I had and alligator clamps to make it work. If you have a car nearby, then it's no problem. Otherwise get one of those 120V AC to 12V DC car adapter you can plug in the house, make sure it's rated high enough to power the pump though. Most of the cheaper ones are junk and can barely power 12V lights and what not. Or if you're crafty enough, do as I did. Just make sure you have big enough electrical wires, otherwise they'll get hot and you could cause a fire.

Use a pump to blow this pool up. It would take too long to blow it up by yourself.

Yes the best way to inflate this is by buying a small air pump, I have a coleman one that I bought at walmart for $20 that works perfect to blow up all our inflatables.(would take a long time to blow up by mouth :) )

Were you able to top it off with a foot pump or another battery operated one? I like the auto feature but sometimes electricty is not available. It looks like with the pull plug that you can manually inflate if you have to. Is this the case?

You have to blow it up which I did without a pump. It's easy to blow up and the ball is soft.

My mom blew it up originally because we couldn't find our air pump. It didn't take her long. I also use a bike pump when necessary.
