Hi I've done the search on past posts but they havent helped to solve my problem just that 12v dryers are not worth buying.

We often rally with our caravan which means no EHU.

Someone must have been able to sort something out to help their wives/teenagers need for a hairdryer! (and please I've seen all the funny advice this subject can attract... something serious please..lol!! )

I have seen something about an ?inverter but not sure what that is.

Thanks

Dawn

Thanks for that sounds great will look into this.

Have a look here pretty pricey though:

Yes it sits in its own recharging unit you only get 8 mins at full power & 15 mins at warm setting per charge - which would only be enough to roughly do 2 heads so the extra battery pack they mention but don't seem to sell would be an advantage.  I have to say Im intriqued by it (apart from the price) as it could make a difference to a lot of people, but wonder how long the battery pack would remain at that level - would the drying time reduce considerably at full charge over time.

Hi, we regularly have no EHU as my husband races lawnmowers and we camp in fields!!! 

I have to wash my long hair every morning as it is very greasy and could not face the world with dirty hair.

I purchased a 12v hairdryer and they only blow luke warm and eat up the power from your leisure battery so not worth it really.

I first put my hair into a turban style towel for about 1/2 hour then comb out, i then dry my hair next to and over the gas fire in our caravan.  It blows out the top like a convector heater, ten minutes and its dry.  Just be careful you do not get too close as you may burn yourself or set fire to your hair!!!

I know this is a bit heath robinson and probably not that safe but it works for me.

Regards Janette

Her yah go then - the answer:

Hi Rune,
?
It's 320 watts, 7'30" continue in use,?for the FreeDryer+75F. We also provide FreeDryer+90F
which has higher output of 380 watts but less using time of 6'30".
?
Best regards,

The 7'30" & 6"30" would be 7.5 minutes and 6.5 minutes respectively.

As they are 12v it would no doubt be possible to wire them for use off your leisure battery, if so then the 320 watt one would draw 27 amps per hour and the 380 watt would draw 32 amps per hour.

The gas one I posted above is the equivalent of 400 watts

Sounds a bit obvious but what about plugging in to the site facilities. We only go on basic sites and they will always let you have use of a socket.
