G’day diwayne
Haven’t got one (well SWMBO hasn’t!). Big current draw and battery destroyers I believe.
If you have a low output gennie look for a low wattage 240 volt hairdryer that fits within the gennie output. I reckon this is a better option if it suits and you’ll get a better ‘blow’.
cheers

I reckon i can cope with looking ugly for a few days when enjoying bush camping 8-) . I take a hair dryer for use in a CP bathroom, but can never remember where it is when i need it :neutral: – but it always turns up when unpacking the van when we get home :confused:

We purchased one for when we are free camping. It is useless and my wife now puts a baseball cap on to hide the bad hair day.

Di got one about 5 years ago for the wife to use down the farm, when I got it the guy at the boat shop said to me "good luck I hope you have lots of power" at that time I had 900ah so it was not going to be a problem, the wife must have overheard him and has never opened the packaging but it is there if she wants or needs to use it.

anything with a heating element will suck lots of power.

Bought one a few yars ago, used it a few times and gave up. Apart from battery draw, the element is too small to be very effective, so takes far too long to do its job. Have no idea where it is at the moment – don’t waste your money…

Cheers
Gerry

There is a nice easy one here that was invented in 1929, may be of help.

Thanks for the info. Over the years I have been spoilt our eldest daughter has her own hairdressing salon, I suppose I will have to change my ways Thanks Di
