Hi, we bought the fantastic Vango Illusion 800xl TC last year and pumped up the airbeams with the hand pump that came with it, but would like to get an electric pump this year just to make it easier! Does anyone have a recommendation of which pump works best on the Vango Airbeams and particularly the Illusion TC; currently looking at the Vango Zephyr but an Amazon review says it didn't attach well to their Vango awning?

Thank you.

We have the Kampa Gale pump (got it cheap with the tent) and its great - if the fittings work we'd recommend it, can be set to stop at pressure. Only consideration is it runs off 12car - some 12v mains adaptors seem to make it cut out.
