I have noticed the caravan site I am going to book onto only has 6 amp hook ups.  Will this be adequate for a hair dryer and GHD hair straightners?

The hair dryer will be ok if used on one of the lower heat settings.

To be sure you need to have a look on the side of the dryer to see what power it is, if it is a big dryer it will probably be about 2KW which will trip the supply on full power, one of the lower setting will be OK.

The strighteners will be OK.

As said before any thing 1400w or below will be fine, the wattage of a appliance is nearly always printed on it.

I've just bought my GF a Babyliss Tiny Titan 1000W Hair dryer as we're camping on a site with 6 amp EHU soon.  You can get them from Amazon and the like for less than a tenner. 

I'll report back on how good it is when we're back from our trip.

In the long ago days when few tent pitches even had access to electricity and I still had the kind of hairdo that needed drying....I used to plug my hair drier in at the loo block, or even the laundry room. Why not do that?

I got bored with drying my hair a few years ago though, and grew it long. Wash, comb and go. I reckon I've reclaimed several years of my life back between giving up drying hair and giving up ironing.

Snap Fiona, I am just the same, my hair is short and that sticky out stuff.  I need to use a dryer to tame it, I hibernate whenever we have a power cut at home!, would love to be able to wash and go!
