When your RV shore cord plug is burned, cracked, or has a loose connection, you don't have to replace the entire cord. The Camco 55245 PowerGrip replacement plug lets you restore a solid, code-correct TT-30P male connection in one repair. The ergonomic PowerGrip handle makes plugging and unplugging easier on your hands -- and easier on the outlet -- while the built-in cord clamp provides real strain relief where the cable enters the plug body.
Shore power cord ends take a beating over years of campground use: heat cycling, rain, UV exposure, and being driven over in the site. When only the plug end is damaged, a replacement plug like the Camco 55245 is the practical fix. Cut off the damaged end, strip and terminate the conductors into the new plug, and you are back to a safe, solid 30 amp connection.
This plug is also the right choice when building custom 30 amp pigtail adapters or when you want a spare in your toolkit for field repairs. It is wired, not a push-in connector -- meaning it works with standard 30 amp cord conductors (10 AWG typical for 30A service) and accepts the cord jacket for a proper clamp-style strain relief.
Ergonomic molded grip reduces the force needed to seat or pull the plug, protecting both the outlet and the cord end over repeated connections.
Correct NEMA TT-30P male blade configuration for 30 amp RV shore power pedestals found at campgrounds and RV parks across North America.
Housing clamps down on the cord jacket so tension on the cord does not transfer to the terminal screws -- the leading cause of loose plug connections.
Screw-terminal wiring means no special crimping tools needed. Cut, strip, and terminate to restore a damaged cord without replacing the full assembly.
The NEMA TT-30P is the standard 30 amp, 125 volt male plug configuration for RV shore power. It has two blades (one hot, one neutral) plus a ground prong, and it fits the TT-30R receptacle found on 30 amp pedestals at virtually every campground in North America. This is not a household 5-15P or 5-30P -- it is specific to the RV/trailer industry. Using the correct plug type ensures safe contact and prevents adapter misuse.
Travel trailers, fifth wheels, and smaller Class C motorhomes that run on 30 amp service will use this TT-30P plug type. If your rig runs 50 amp service (two hot legs, four-prong plug), you need a different replacement plug -- this one is for 30 amp single-leg service only.
The Camco 55245 uses screw-terminal connections inside a two-piece housing. The general process: unscrew the housing, feed the cord through the rear, connect the conductors to the labeled terminals (hot to brass, neutral to silver, ground to green), tighten the cord clamp, and reassemble. Only attempt this repair if you are comfortable working with 30 amp RV wiring. If in doubt, have a licensed electrician or certified RV technician perform the repair.
This listing is for the replacement plug body only. No power cord or cable is included. You must wire this plug onto a compatible 30 amp cord. Recommended conductor size for 30A service is 10 AWG (three conductors: hot, neutral, ground).
Inspect your shore cord plug and receptacle before every trip. Discoloration, melted plastic, loose blades, or a plug that feels warm after use are all signs the connection is failing. A damaged plug should be repaired or replaced before the next hookup -- a poor connection at 30 amps generates significant heat and is a fire risk.
