Am not a die hard camper and do like to take my travel hairdryer with me on camping trips.  We are looking to purchase a EHU but don't really have the money for a 'proper' one.

Obviously, if we don't leave it out all the time and only plug in when needed, are the cheaper, home-made ones I've seen around adequate if have been fitted correctly or is it not worth it?

Thanks.

Personally I wouldn't take the risk.

If you only need an EHU for a hair dryer then most campsite toilet/shower blocks have plug sockets for these.

No electrics are 100% safe, not even in your house. Tents are damp and occasionally very wet places.Condensation gets everywhere. Buy a proper EHU with a residual current device and don`t take the risk. If it`s still too expensive to meet the budget, either plug your hairdryer in at the shower or laundry block, or use the coin operated ones provide on many sites.

I must say, I appreciate the desire to take a hairdrier! But I always managed to find somewhere to plug mine in before we got an EHU. Pure luxury to have EHU in a tent though...!
