Valterra 15 Amp Male X 30 Amp Female RV Adapter Plug

The Valterra A10-1530A RV adapter plug is a compact version of the classic 15 amp to 30 amp adapter. A 15 amp 5-15P male plug on one side and a 30 amp TT-30 female receptacle on the other let a 30 amp RV cord connect directly to a household outlet for low demand use.

Unlike a dogbone cord, this plug adapter has no extra cable, making it very compact and easy to store, but it does place more mechanical load on the outlet. It is best used where the outlet is in good condition and the cord can hang without twisting.

FAQ

Q: When should I use this instead of a dogbone adapter?
A: Use this when space is tight and the outlet is strong and well supported. Use a dogbone style when you want more strain relief.

Q: Can I run an air conditioner through this?
A: Typically no. Most air conditioners draw more current than a 15 amp household circuit can safely provide.
