I just went out and looked at the face plate on the Winegard, it says "12V 8 amps max". I don't know how the one by your queen bed is fused. We only have the one.

We have 3 12V sockets in our Chevy truck, and one of them is a lower rated fuse than the others. I've blown that one out, too, blowing up the "floaties". What I use now is either a portable pump that runs off of 4-D batteries, or one of the truck receptacles with the bigger amp fuses, or our portable power source that is rechargeable. I don't think they make the same version of our portable, rechargeable power source any more. I have two of them and have replaced the small 12V batteries in each one. I didn't know that they made 12V batteries that small!

The 4-D battery portable pump came along with a new Lightspeed air bed that we bought for tent camping. I thought it would be really funky, but we used it a lot on our last camping trip and the batteries are still pretty charged.
