    We are off camping in France soon and I have bought 2 inflatable beds with integrated pumps - I'm now not sure if we will be able to inflate them as I know French campsites have lower amps (6a?) than English.
    If anyone can help me with this please I would really appreciate it - the beds are jilong with a 220-240 volt input & are 130 watts - I make that 3.7 amps? In which case as long as we were inflating them with nothing else switched on we would be ok?

    Don't worry you won't have a problem with anything you need to inflate.

    I make it about 0.6 of an amp.

    A kilowatt is aprox 5 amp. So Bobs about right

    Stuff like electric kettles, hairdryers may be a problem
