Low Voltage Hair Dryer

ok I use a hair dryer when dry camping, and nothing else runs while blowing my hair dry. But if there is a restroom with an outlet, I just do my hair there. Those low watt hair dryers take so much longer to dry your hair. I use the one I have at home 10 min tops to dry. Hey I know how it is, some of us don't have wash and go hair, sadly. Tara :)

Yes a flattop or high-and-tight should dry very fast.

When I read "Marine" above, I thought the suggestion was going to be a haircut. :)

Easy solution-go to a Marine (Boat) shop, like West Marine and get the 12 volt unit. My Wife uses one all the time. It has lasted at least 8-10 years.

I need to get my hands on a low voltage hair dryer. I can't run my air and have my wife blow dry her hair when we're camping. Any ideas?

When she uses the hair dryer, just turn the A/C to "fan only." You will still move lots of cool air, and the 5 to 10 minutes of hair dryer use will not affect the inside temperature. After drying, just move the switch back to A/C. That way, the compressor in the A/C will not run (it is the big electric hog) and everyone will be happy. Better yet, teach her how to move the switch.

X2 on 2oldman. We've been turning off the A/C while using the hair dryer for years.

No a/c running or go to ladies bathroom and use the outlet if at a campground.
Have done it either way.

Dry it over the camp fire.
