Should do, but an odd inverter doesn't like to run pumps (eg mine!)
Just see if the pump runs before you go.

We have a 150 watt inverter and a Aerobed. It works fine although I've only tested it in the driveway at home, not in a campsite in the pouring rain!

The inverter is 150W, if the pump is less than that, then there's no problem.

Which Aero bed? If you get one of the Active range then you charge the pump up at home so don't need either electric or inverter.
The girls have the Aero bed overnighter singles and this comes with a pump that runs off 4xD batteries - you need lots and lots of them but no need for inverter or electric again.------------- Keely :-))
