Hello

I am a lifelong camper but message board virgin, can anyone tell me if they know which air compressor is the quietest. I am lazy enough not to want to use a mannual pump but am quite noise phobic particulary when setting up on an lovely peaceful site.

I wanted a mains adapter one as airbed is spare bed in the house too and the recharge option seems great as car is not always on the correct side of the tent and it would be easier if raining.

The 12v cig lighter yellow argos ones are quite noisy I think, does anyone know if the noise decreases as price increases?

Times seem to vary from 1 min to 5 min to inflate dble bed, does it get noisier if faster?

A friend had a rechargable quiet one from Halfords for £14 but they dont seem to stock it anymore

Thanks

Paula

Leave the pump in the car and poke the pipe through an almost closed door.  They are noisy aren't they.....

That's what I do on a tube extension.

Just take care that you don't alarm the neighbours...cars and hosepipes etc!

Cheers guys, it seems like size matters is logical and I do like the jam it in the car door idea. Will go for quickest and run off to the toilet while husband uses the inflator! Have a good new year.

hi

becauce space is very limited for us we use these from towsure, they have their own built in hand pump, only trouble is , sometimes it sounds like f*rting whilst pumping.
