When your 30 amp RV cord needs to reach a standard household outlet, the Camco 55222 Power Grip adapter closes that gap. A 5-15P male plug on one side and a TT-30R female receptacle on the other give you a clean, direct connection -- no dongles, no extension cord hacks. The molded grip handle makes plugging in and pulling out easier on your hands, your outlet, and your cord end.

Plug Into Any 15 Amp Outlet With Your 30 Amp RV Cord

Most garages, driveways, and storage sites only have standard 15 amp household receptacles. That does not mean your 30 amp RV is out of luck. The Camco 55222 lets you connect your existing 30 amp shore power cord to those outlets so you can keep your battery bank charged, run your refrigerator in propane-electric mode, operate your roof vent fans, or power a few interior lights -- all without running an extension cord to a different outlet or rewiring anything.

This is not a high-draw solution. You are limited to 15 amps of available current at 125 volts -- roughly 1,875 watts maximum. Air conditioners, electric water heaters, and microwave ovens draw far more than that and will trip the household breaker. Think of this adapter as a maintenance and light-use tool, not a full campground power replacement.

5-15P Male Plug

Standard 3-prong 15 amp household plug fits any NEMA 5-15R outlet -- the same receptacle found in virtually every garage, shop, and driveway in North America.

TT-30R Female Receptacle

The female end accepts the standard TT-30P plug found on most 30 amp RV shore power cords. No inline adapter or pigtail needed.

Power Grip Handle

The molded ergonomic body gives you a real handhold for plugging and unplugging -- reducing wear on the outlet and cord and making the task easier in cold weather or wet conditions.

One-Piece Compact Design

The adapter is a single molded unit with no moving parts or detachable pieces. Toss it in your power kit, tool bag, or basement bay without worry.

Works with standard 30 amp RV shore power cords -- If your RV came with a TT-30P cord or you own a 30 amp RV power cord, this adapter connects directly with no additional fittings required.

Typical Use Cases

  • Keeping batteries topped off while your RV sits in the driveway or a storage lot with only a household outlet nearby.
  • Running the refrigerator, vent fans, and a few lights during pre-trip prep at home.
  • Backup adapter for RVers who carry multiple power conversion options in their kit.
  • Camping at a friend or family property with only standard household power available.
15 Amp Circuit Limit -- Plan Your Loads Accordingly
Even though this adapter connects to your 30 amp RV cord, the household outlet and breaker limit you to 15 amps (1,875 watts at 125V). High-draw appliances like rooftop air conditioners (typically 12-15 amps at startup), electric water heaters, and microwaves will exceed this limit and trip the breaker. Use this connection for low-draw systems only.

Construction Notes

The 55222 uses Camco's Power Grip molded housing construction -- the same platform used across Camco's adapter lineup. The body is formed as a single piece with the plug and receptacle fully integrated, so there are no weak joints where a two-piece design might separate under repeated use. The grip profile is shaped to fit a gloved hand, which matters when you are working at a cold outlet in a dark storage bay.

Inspect Before Each Use -- Check the plug blades and receptacle contacts for corrosion, discoloration, or physical damage before plugging in. A damaged adapter should be replaced, not used. Do not force the adapter into a tight or worn outlet.

What Is and Is Not Included

  • Included: One Camco 55222 Power Grip adapter (15A male to 30A female).
  • Not included: Shore power cord, surge protector, extension cord, or any additional fittings.
Storage Tip: Keep this adapter in a small zip-lock bag or cloth pouch inside your RV's power compartment. The plug blades and receptacle contacts will stay cleaner and resist oxidation better when stored away from moisture and road dust.

Common Buyer Questions

Will this power my AC?No -- rooftop AC units typically draw 12-15 amps at startup, exceeding a 15 amp household circuit. Use only for low-draw loads.
Does my 30 amp cord plug into the female end?Yes -- the TT-30R female end accepts the standard TT-30P plug on virtually all 30 amp RV shore cords.
Is this for outdoor use?Yes, it is designed for portable RV use. Keep it off wet ground and inspect contacts regularly.
Does this work with 50 amp RVs?No -- 50 amp RVs require a separate 50A-to-15A or 50A-to-30A adapter set.
Important Information
  • This adapter does NOT increase available power. You are limited to 15 amps of current from the household outlet -- running high-draw appliances will trip the breaker.
  • Do NOT use this adapter as a permanent wiring solution. It is a portable, temporary connection tool.
  • Inspect plug blades and receptacle contacts before each use. Discard and replace if you see heat damage, bent blades, cracked housing, or corrosion.
  • Do not use with a 50 amp RV system. A 50 amp RV requires a dedicated 50A adapter; connecting through this adapter can damage 50 amp equipment or trip breakers unpredictably.
  • This adapter is not a surge protector or power conditioner. If you require voltage and surge protection, use a dedicated RV surge protector in line with your shore power cord.
  • Do not leave the adapter plugged into a worn, loose, or damaged household outlet -- a poor connection at 15 amps can cause heat buildup at the contact points.
