About the Camco 55242

The Camco 55242 is a replacement NEMA TT-30P male plug for 30-amp RV shore power cords. When the plug end of an RV power cord is damaged — cracked housing, burned contacts, or a physically cut end — this replacement plug restores the cord to service by wiring it onto the cut end of the existing cord. It is not a pre-wired adapter or extension; it requires the user to strip the cord wires and connect them to the plug's internal terminals.

The NEMA TT-30P is the standard 30-amp male plug used on most travel trailer shore power cords in North America — a three-blade configuration (two flat blades + one ground blade, arranged in a distinctive triangle). The 55242 is rated 125V/3750W and ETL listed for safety. The PowerGrip ergonomic handle is designed to resist slipping when gripping a wet or cold plug, and its contoured profile makes unplugging easier without straining the cord. Wiring instructions are included.

📋 Installation Overview

For a damaged or cut cord end only — not pre-wired:

1. Cut back the cord jacket to expose the individual wires

2. Strip the insulation from each wire end

3. Open the plug housing and connect each wire to the correct terminal — follow the wiring diagram in the included instructions

4. Close and secure the plug housing around the cord

Wire color convention (typical North American 30A RV cord):
Black = Hot (X terminal) · White = Neutral (W terminal) · Green = Ground (G terminal)

Safety note: Always ensure the cord is completely disconnected from shore power before beginning any wire work. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

⚠️ Wire-On Installation — Not Pre-Wired

The 55242 is a wire-on replacement plug — it does not come pre-wired and requires cutting, stripping, and connecting the wires from an existing cord. It is not an adapter and cannot be used standalone.

If you need a complete 30-amp male-to-female adapter without wiring, see Camco's adapter line (e.g., 55233 — 30A male to 15A female dogbone adapter) instead.
