Well I said it once already but all this talk about high wattage inverters and generators is unnecessary ... a 1000 watt inverter will easily power a hair dryer on it's lowest setting, typically 350 to 500 watts. Just takes a little longer but works just fine ... reserve genset use for recharging the battery.
Kind of sounds like going around in circles.
Use an inverter to run the hair dryer then after you are finished use the generator to recharge the depleted batteries. Why not just use the generator to run the hair dryer. ;)
