Good morning All
We’ve just bought our first Motorhome and been away for our first trip. I’m looking for recommendations for a suitable low amp hairdryer and straighteners, please.
Thanks 🙂

We have a caravan. This is what I use.

Sorry should have said - only used when plugged in to electricity!!

JulittadeMontrigord · 31/07/2023 21:38

Yes, I should have said will only be using sites with EHU, I like my comforts! 😃

I’ve got some Revamp rechargeable hair straighteners that I take camping with me. Just charge them up before I go. They’re probably not suitable for heavy use but I’d usually get about a week out of them before needing to recharge.

Thanks, will have a look at those, too.

I just used to use my normal cloud 9s without any problem. We sold our caravan in May but used our old tent this weekend. Used my mini cloud 9s on hook up, which had an extension cable as box was so far away and then a splitter at the box as lots of folks using it, I was shocked they worked!

Happy motorhoming. Can’t wait to get something more comfortable back, after 5 years of caravanning we are no longer tent campers!

We had our first trip at the weekend and I used my Cloud9 straightener, no problem, it's to do with watts/amps on the hook up. We had 10 amps and straighteners use less than 1 amp, (I googled it!) so no problems there. Hairdryers, on the other hand can use 10+ amps, so definitely need a low wattage one or a 12v one. I've ordered one from Amazon so will see how that works.

Hope you get back to comfort soon!

Thanks again for all the recommendations.

We have a caravan (and before that had a tent). I’ve always just taken my normal hairdryer & straighteners from home and never had a problem.
