When your RV is wired with a 30-amp TT-30P cord and the only available power source is a standard 15-amp household outlet, this Camco Power Grip Adapter bridges the gap cleanly and safely. The contoured yellow body is easy to grip and pull, the CSA-certified construction is rated for 125V/1875W continuous use, and the compact profile leaves adjacent outlets free.
The Camco 55233 is the go-to adapter for RV owners who find themselves at a site, driveway, or storage yard where only a standard 15-amp household receptacle is available. It accepts your RV's TT-30P 30-amp plug and steps it down to the 5-15R outlet standard found on virtually every residential circuit in North America.
Running on 15 amps limits total available power to 1,875 watts, so you'll want to manage your loads -- run the air conditioner, microwave, and electric water heater one at a time -- but you'll still have enough power for lighting, phone charging, fans, and basic appliances. This adapter makes it possible without any wiring modifications.
Ergonomic yellow housing seats firmly in the outlet and pulls out cleanly without straining the receptacle face or your wrist.
Compact footprint does not block adjacent outlets on a duplex receptacle, so other users or devices can still plug in alongside it.
Independently tested and certified to CSA standards. Listed for use on 15-amp, 125-volt circuits -- not a generic import.
Backed by Camco's limited one-year warranty. Camco is one of the most widely stocked RV accessory brands in North America.
This adapter converts the receptacle format only -- it does not boost amperage. The circuit you plug into is still limited by its 15-amp breaker. That means your RV is drawing from a 15A/1,875W source even though your cord is rated for 30A. Most 15A residential circuits are on a 14-gauge wire protected by a 15A breaker; never attempt to pull more than 1,875W continuous or you risk tripping the breaker or overloading older wiring.
The male plug end follows the NEMA TT-30P standard -- the same three-prong twist-type plug used on virtually all 30-amp RV shore power cords. The female socket end follows the NEMA 5-15R standard -- the same two-blade-plus-ground outlet found in every U.S. and Canadian home. No proprietary fittings, no special tools, no adapters needed on either end.
