Camco30 Amp / 125VPart No. 55522Camco 55522 Power Grip 90-Degree 30A Locking Adapter -- 18-Inch Dogbone

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.

Route Your Cord Cleanly, Protect Your Connections

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.

90-Degree Locking Head

Right-angle male plug exits the outlet face pointing downward, reducing cord hang and mechanical stress on the receptacle.

Power Grip Handles

Molded oversized grip surfaces on both connectors for confident plug-in and pull-out, even in cold or wet conditions.

18-Inch Dogbone Cord

Enough length to clear the pedestal or generator housing and let the cord route naturally without bunching.

30A TT-30 Female End

Standard TT-30 receptacle mates directly with the male plug on your RV shore-power cord -- no secondary adapter needed.

What This Adapter Does

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.

Cord Stress Reduction: Routing a heavy 30-amp cord straight out of a wall-mounted or pedestal outlet puts a constant lateral load on the outlet's locking tabs. A 90-degree adapter transfers that load to the dogbone cord instead, extending outlet life and keeping the connection secure.

Typical Applications

  • Connecting an RV shore-power cord to a 30-amp twist-lock generator outlet (common on Honda, Champion, Generac, and similar portable generators).
  • Adapting to a 30-amp locking campground or marina pedestal when the site has a locking receptacle instead of a standard TT-30.
  • Reducing cable management issues at low-mounted pedestals where a straight cord would drag on the ground or kink.
  • Keeping one versatile adapter in the RV electrical kit for sites with mixed connector types.
Connector Reference: The locking male end on this adapter uses the L5-30P blade pattern -- three blades arranged for a 30-amp, 125-volt twist-lock connection. Confirm your generator or pedestal has a matching L5-30R receptacle before purchase. The female TT-30 end is universal to standard 30-amp RV cords.

What Is and Is Not Included

  • Included: One 18-inch dogbone adapter with 90-degree locking male plug and TT-30 female connector.
  • Not included: Shore-power cord, extension cord, or any secondary adapters.
  • Not included: 50-amp conversion -- this is a 30-amp-only adapter.
Storage Tip: After each use, twist the locking plug to the unlocked position before pulling it from the outlet. Pulling against the lock without releasing it first is the most common cause of damaged locking tabs.

Not Compatible With50-amp RV systems, 20-amp outlets, or 240-volt circuits
Important Information
  • This adapter is rated for 30 amps and 125 volts only. Do not use it on 240-volt circuits or with 50-amp RV systems.
  • Always confirm the locking outlet on your generator or pedestal is a 30-amp L5-30R receptacle before connecting. Using an adapter on a mismatched outlet can damage connectors or create a shock hazard.
  • Do not exceed the 30-amp rating of this adapter. Running loads greater than 3,750 watts (at 125V) can overheat the connectors.
  • Inspect the adapter before each use. Replace immediately if the housing is cracked, the blades are bent or corroded, or the locking mechanism does not engage positively.
  • This adapter does not add or remove any circuit protection. Your RV's shore-power cord, surge protector, and breakers remain responsible for overcurrent and surge protection.
  • Not intended for permanent or hard-wired installation. For temporary connection use only.
