A purpose-built dogbone adapter that lets your 30-amp RV power cord plug into a locking-style 30-amp outlet -- on a generator, site pedestal, or marina dock -- without forcing the cord straight out at a sharp angle. The 90-degree head routes the cord down and away from the face of the outlet, cutting mechanical stress on both the plug and the receptacle.
Standard straight adapters can put a constant bending load on locking outlet faces, especially when a heavy shore-power cord hangs from a waist-high pedestal. The Camco 55522 solves that with a right-angle head on the locking-male end, letting the 18-inch dogbone drop naturally toward the ground. The result is a cleaner cord run, less wiggle at the connection, and reduced wear on the outlet over time.
The Power Grip molded handles on both ends are a practical detail you notice immediately in the field. Plugging and unplugging 30-amp connectors takes real grip strength, particularly in cold weather or when your hands are wet. The oversized, textured handles make that task noticeably easier without needing a tool or an extra hand to brace the cord.
Right-angle male plug exits the outlet face pointing downward, reducing cord hang and mechanical stress on the receptacle.
Molded oversized grip surfaces on both connectors for confident plug-in and pull-out, even in cold or wet conditions.
Enough length to clear the pedestal or generator housing and let the cord route naturally without bunching.
Standard TT-30 receptacle mates directly with the male plug on your RV shore-power cord -- no secondary adapter needed.
One end of the 55522 is a 30-amp locking male plug (L5-30P style) that locks into a twist-lock receptacle on a generator or campground pedestal. The other end is a standard 30-amp TT-30 female receptacle, which accepts the male plug on a typical RV shore-power cord. The 18-inch dogbone cord between them gives just enough slack to route the connection without strain.
The 90-degree angle is only on the locking-male end -- the end that goes into the outlet. That is the end that usually takes the most mechanical abuse from cord weight and movement, so this is where the angle change makes the biggest practical difference.
