Edd, Took a while but we found a smaller hair dryer that Touché's 1000 watt inverter will handle. 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.
