We also have the Select Comfort beds. We have one in the house and in the coach. My experience with it deflating is that it is pretty minimal. However, if you do have to deflate because you will be traveling to a higher elevation, then you would have to re-inflate. If you don't have a generator or an inverter, then you could have a problem from the very start. In our case, we have both a generator and an inverter.
Select Comfort makes two different models for RV's. When we were researching to buy our coach, we found out that DRV was using the better mattress with the thicker "pillow top". Jo thinks that she likes the RV version better than our home one.
As for buying, we found that we could get it cheaper through DRV rather than directly through Select Comfort. So, I would suggest you check with DRV and see if they can just sell you the Select Comfort and also check with Select Comfort themselves. Keep in mind the two different mattress have different thicknesses of pillow tops. So, check also with Camping World to see which one they carry so you are comparing apples to apples.
Also, check Select Comfort's website to see if they give the thicknesses of the mattress to make sure that it would clear the dresser in your coach.
Good luck.
