When she wants her hair dry to go out (maybe thrice a season) I accommodate her with the following set-up;
A small low wattage hair dryer (I dont know where I got it...I think it is a travel dryer) 1000 watt inverter that attaches directly to battery in cockpit lockerextension cord back into the cabinStart the engineHair dyer does its thing She is worth every bit of that infrequent effort.

Preferably after making sure you are holding the dryer.

The admiral likes it OK. Also my research on this indicated that somehow running a European voltage hair dryer on North American voltage works. Not sure how but I read something to that effect on the web. Must be true then. :) As others have said, it will represent quite a draw so make sure you size the wiring and circuit protection accordingly. Dennis C.

My current inverter is rated at 600 Watts AC, which is nowhere near enough to handle a hair dryer. Anyone know of any issues in changing my inverter to one that can handle 1600 to 2000 watts?
