Exactly the sort of adaptor I am using, except mine was from ebay for slightly less money.

That will NOT inflate an air tent/awning, no pressure capability, just volume, only good for airbeds and such like where pressure required is VERY low.

To get around the air pump issue..
2 ways around it....
1 buy a straddle pump and manaaly inflate your awning.
2 use a gas bottle filled with compressed air and must have an air regulator fitted ir you will damage your awning.
Most awnings only need about 5 to 10 psi maximum so set the regulator to 5psi and open the valve when the air equalisers job done.
Use a compressor to refill the bottle as required.
Alternatively carry a snall car or bike battery with you....you can buy from Halfords if it helps?

Mine is a 15 amp 12 volt pump and I have purchased a 240v to 12 volt 15 amp adaptor so I can plug the adaptor in the mains and it has a pushb in connector same as a car on the other end so the pump plugs in the adaptor, this works fine and reduces the pull from the mains down to less than 1 amp thus the pump can be used as normal on air tents....https://www.amazon.co.uk/BGFOX-110V-240V-Converter-Cigarette-Refrigerator-Black/dp/B0C8H6D53B/ref=rvi_d_sccl_1/262-0922111-1970048?pd_rd_w=R7orn&content-id=amzn1.sym.d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_p=d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_r=5THPKY5PE76HX2APKZ5M&pd_rd_wg=i36xH&pd_rd_r=3130206a-6e9e-4b5c-8b79-42162eac769d&pd_rd_i=B0C8H6D53B&psc=1
