Air Mattress

| I'm currently looking into buying a double high queen sized air mattress to bring with me camping. I'd like it to have an internal pump in it and be able to be plugged into a car power inverter. I however worry about the inverter not having enough watts to handle the pump. Does anyone have any recommendations for how they blow up double high air mattresses or a suggestion for a air mattress and power inverter? Thanks! |

| I also use an air mattress when "car" camping. I use a small pump powered by 4 'D' cell batteries. It takes just a few minutes and I can be a ways from the vehicle when I use it. It came with the mattress I bought but I'm sure you can find one at a hardware or camping supply store. Try Campmor. I also pack a roll of Gorilla Tape just in case it springs a leak. |

| I have an Eddie Bauer that has a built in pump that works on 4 D batteries. It only taqke 2 minutes to inflate. Then you turn the pump around and it deflates it perfectly in about 1 minute. It is AWESOME. Best air mattress for pretty cheap too. |

I don't bother with an air mattress. I take one or two of those glider cushions along and just flop them out in the tent! No worry about an air mattress going flat 2 hours after you climb in to bed! Which seems to be the norm with them. I've used them in truck caps, too.
And, they are cheap! Just drive around on trash night-you will probably find some that way. And, when you strike camp to leave, you won't find yer battery dead from the pump running all night.
Also, i don't call two air mattresses, stacked one on top of the other---"camping"! Gee, if ya want a bed to be that comfy--stay home, and camp in yer bedroom! And, ya won't be looking for a way to cook, or where the potty is! Won't have to mess with lighting, batteries, etc.
