Those 12V blow dryers, heck, any of those 12V appliances that involve HEAT, are complete wastes of money.
Sure it only draws 14A. That's 168 Watts at 12 Volts. It would be more effective if you blew on her head with your nostrils to dry her hair.
If she absolutely has to have a hair dryer the only practical way in your case is to run the generator. You don't have room for an inverter, let alone the batteries it would take to run a usable dryer without completely discharging your battery bank.
