We use a 25000 KW inverter for a normal hairdryer and straighteners, but whilst it is running anything heavy have the engine running also, never seems to affect the battery that way.

Try Donagheys or LTS, quite expensive for a pure sinewave one, mine isn't, I think it was about £100. Wired direct to leisure batteries with thick cables and as I said keep the engine running whilst anything heavy is loaded, it never seems to affect our leisure batterys. Both items never on for that long.

Depends on your definition of "blow" and "hot" , there not really very good on the bosses hair if its long the power is not really enough in 12v

At 168 watts it is not going to do much. Most decent hairdryers are more like 1000 watts. Look it up on ebay, reviews are poor

Over the years the missus tried all types of hair dryers.none of the travel ones suited. I bought our present van on condition it had a generator so she could plug in. So we have a traveller 2500, used mostly for hair drying

Too late and a few quid poorer. It was a toss up between air con and the generator. She said I could buy a fan

I got a 1200 watt travel hairdryer and run it through the inverter. It’s only on for less than 10 minutes, so doesn’t take too much out of the batteries. If you have an inverter sized from 1500 watts up, it’ll work a treat.

12 volt hairdryer, chocolate tea pot, ashtray on a motorbike all have one thing in common. BLOODY USELESS
