Yahey, an old "bonnet style" hair dryer with a Y in the hoses works great & is highly portable.
Here's a pic of this type of hair dryer, found at resale shops for peanuts: http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/1f/7b/0d_1.JPG

I made a variation of this. Using the same blower, I made a simple H frame out of 1" pvc. I only glued a few pieces for stability, left the rest unglued. It tears down quickly and simply for travelling and takes up very little space.

The height is just enough to allow the suit full extension, so it fits inside the low ceilings that some motels have. Since I elected not to use a base for it to stand on it's own, I just lean it against the wall slightly.

Works fantastic and the suit is dry in a matter of hours. The blower is quiet enough so as to not disturb you while you're sleeping so I usually just let it run all night.
