I also carry a plastic hand pump in case I had to top off for pressure but so far the Coleman has worked just fine. It also works great for deflating!!

I think messing with an inverter would be a pain.

Edited to add, this is very similar to the one I have except mine is green and has a separate charger (older version of this maybe??)...http://smile.amazon.com/Coleman-Rech...n+air+inflator

Edited to add, looks like they have a 12 volt version too! http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-200001...CGB31NXEPD83CF

That's exactly what I already have, in 120V--it works perfectly, so I'll probably just buy the 12V version to keep on the boat. I'd buy the rechargeable in a heartbeat IF it could also be used in 12V mode, but the power cord on those only charge the unit, not power it.
