no as they dont but the volume of air needed into the tubes, best getting a 12 volt inflator or using the double action hand pump

No, as marg6 said, you need a far greater volume pump, and the pressure settings on tyre pumps are notoriously inaccurate to the one or two PSI necessary for airbeams!
Likely a tyre pump would overheat/trip out/fail from excessive run time before fully inflating airbeams.

I use the hand pump on our Vango, it has 4 separate beams and takes no time at all. Never felt the need to use an electric pump but I can appreciate how some would.
To deflate I just push the valves in and rotate 90 degrees, the awning then comes down like it has been shot, never had to squeeze the air out
