Plug your 50 amp RV into a 30 amp campground pedestal without wrestling with stuck plugs. The Power Grip dogbone adapter adds 18 inches of flexible cord between the connectors, plus integrated pull handles on both ends so removal is a one-handed pull, not a two-handed struggle.
Anyone who has yanked on a standard plug adapter wedged into a wet campground pedestal knows the problem. Camco's Power Grip design addresses it directly: molded-in ergonomic pull handles give you real leverage to break the weathered connection loose without rocking, twisting, or digging your fingernails under the collar.
The 18-inch flexible cord between the 50 amp female and 30 amp male connectors also keeps stress off the park pedestal outlet. Instead of a rigid adapter torquing the receptacle as your rig shifts, the cord absorbs movement and lets the connectors seat straight.
Molded handles on both the male and female ends give solid grip for effortless plug removal from tight or weathered outlets.
The dogbone-style cord relieves torque on the pedestal receptacle and lets connectors seat cleanly even at awkward angles.
Connects your 50 amp RV power cord to a standard 30 amp (TT-30) campground outlet -- the most common hookup mismatch at RV parks.
Durable, weather-resistant housing stands up to repeated use in the outdoor campground environment.
A dogbone adapter is not a power converter or surge protector -- it is a wiring adapter that physically matches your RV's 50 amp shore power cord to a 30 amp pedestal outlet. When plugged into a 30 amp source, your 50 amp RV will receive a maximum of 30 amps at 120 volts. High-draw appliances like air conditioners, electric water heaters, and microwaves will need to be managed carefully to avoid tripping the 30 amp breaker at the pedestal.
A 50 amp RV service runs two legs of 120 volts (120/240V), providing up to 12,000 watts of capacity. A 30 amp service is a single-leg 120V circuit rated for up to 3,600 watts. When using this adapter, your RV is operating on a single 120V leg -- the same leg both 50 amp hot wires are bridged to at the adapter. Run one large appliance at a time and monitor your load to avoid nuisance trips.
This adapter is compatible with any RV equipped with a standard 50 amp shore power cord (the large 4-prong, 14-50 style connector) and any campground pedestal with a TT-30 (30 amp) outlet. It does not require any tools or modifications -- plug and play.
