Does anyone know if electric hand dryers in camp ground bathrooms within 6' of the sink have to be GFCI protected and if so what article in the NEC covers this. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks
 
If the dryer is cord & plug, which I've never seen, & 125v 15 or 20a, it would need GFI protection. NEC 210.8(B). If the listing of the dryer requires GFi protection, then, you must do it as well. 110.3.

Agreed.....we've wired in hand dryers straight from a box behind them in the wall. Never seen a corded one anywhere.
