Besides the AC air pump built-in, can bed alternately be inflated using either a 12 volt camping pump or manual pump?

As said, Sir, this is not a camping bed. I am, however, utterly delighted to be offered a pontification on the subject that you so kindly, and extraordinarily briefly, provide. Sleep (then) my Sweet Prince, and let the flights of Angels sing you to thy (camping) rest...

No, and I wonder why would you want to have such back-up facility. This is really NOT a camping affair DvL

No. However, if your asking this to enable to take the bed camping, you could use a power converter to use your car battery to convert from 12 volt dc to 120 ac. You just plug it into the converter. Very easy to do.

Otherwise Walmart sells a Coleman pump for their inflatable beds which would work too. Let me know.

Yes, it can both inflate and deflate an air mattress, but note that it is not battery-operated so you must have a power source.

Not an electric pump. The pump is built into the bed. All you have to do is step on it and it fills itself with air.

It comes with an automatic pump. It also comes with a handy cigarette lighter charger. On our last trip we forgot to charge the pump, but we were able to plug it into the charger and inflate the bed while plugged in. Inflation only takes a couple of minutes

The mattress has a built-in 120 volt pump to inflate the mattress so the normal inflation process involves plugging it into a 120 volt outlet. However, I'm going to be using it this weekend at a site with no electricity. I will be using a Coleman battery powered (4 D batteries) pump to inflate it. It takes 10 minutes to inflate with the Coleman pump. However, the mattress does not get as firm with the Coleman pump as it does with the built-in pump. There is a 5/8" opening in the middle of the control knob on the mattress in which an external pump can be connected. The Coleman pump calls it a "Boston Adapter". So any external pump with a 5/8" outside diameter connector can be used to inflate the mattress.

We used small electric pump. Hand pump like you use for air bed will work too. Inflates quickly so be careful not to over-inflate.

Yes. The queen size Intex High Rise airbed can be be inflated with a manual air pump.

Yes a hand pump or battery operated air pump may be used to inflate the mattress.

I purchased a Coleman 120v Electric Quickpump, it was $20 at Menards. You can also find them in sporting goods stores and maybe Walmart. They are great for inflating airbeds, water floating toys, and work good for these pools. I have purchased a battery operated one but don't recommend as the air flow is not as strong, plug in ones are best.

Yes, needs to be plugged in. I would recommed looking for a Colman airbed they had a battery powered pump like this one: Coleman Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump(Coleman C001 Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump )

I used a battery operated air mattress pump. It worked great. I also used a foot pump and that took a lot longer. It holds more air than you think.

Yes, but not this version. Look for the "Wenzel Stow 'n Go Twin Airbed with Integrated Pump." In my opinion though, the built-in manual pump for this mattress works great, and you don't need to worry about batteries.

We used the pump we use for our inflatable mattresses. It has a funnel looking adaptor that came with the pump. Filled quickly. You can buy the pumps on Amazon. Ours is a Coleman. Search air pump for inflatables.

NO. only an internal pump is supplied which needs an electrical outlet. In any event, I threw the bed away after three attempts at keeping it inflated and failed each time. Garbage. I guess one gets what they pay for.

We use the pump for the inflatable bed to blow it up. The mattress does not come with a pump..

My adult son blew ours up by mouth, and admitted it took a bit of doing, so if you use the mattresses frequently, a pump of some sort would definitely be handy. Unless you have an adapter, I don't think a bicycle pump will work. Pumps for other inflatables (kayaks, air matresses, dinghys, etc.) might work. Coleman sells an inflatable air bed hand pump for around $20 on Amazon. There are electric pumps available too.
