The TOTAL power available from the generator is less than half that 
from a good hair dryer. If you think that it would be really cool to 
spend big bucks on a big alternator conversion you MIGHT get to a 
full hair dryer.

It is cheaper, easier, and more efficient to just fix up the OE 
heater. Its power comes from waste heat, not from engine power like 
an electrical heater would.
