12v camping hairdryer. £9 from my local c*ravan place. Even cheaper

Or, if you're rich, Caterham sell heated screens forabout £140 for the glass.

We used a hairdryer too- its pretty crap, but seeing as the cabin isn't enclosed its pretty unlikely to mist up anyway! Passed SVA no worries.
Came from Midland Chandlers, £10.20 inc. postage etc.
