I have not tried it yet, but apparentley you can squish most of the air out by sitting/rolling on the bag & then use your air pump on suck to get the rest out

I hope it works when we use this method in a couple of weeks time

I've not tried this for real yet but my car vacuum cleaner seemed powerful enough to remove the air from the bag on my trial run. We don't use air beds so don't take a pump.

The space the vacuum cleaner takes up in the car is less than the amount of bedding in the bags so will try it on our next camping trip.

We use one of these http://www.outwell.com/en/Products/Accessories/Pumps/TornadoPump12V230Vrechargeable.aspx

We find it very good and to get it to fit the vac bag outlet we just use an inverted funnel

Just bought some from eBay don't know how to do links but they come with three different size bags and a hand pump so you don't have to rely on a vacuum cleaner paid 8.50 that's inc postage

Hi fragglerock gave the vac bags a test and are very good have found that on our return journey our air bed electric pump will suck 80% of the air out then finish off with the pump
Struggle with links as I use my iPad to do eBay and ukcampsites

We just got some too, a big pack of bags with a handpump and after sitting on to get most of the air out the pump did a great job with the rest!!!
