Heavy-duty 18" dogbone adapter that connects a 50-amp RV power inlet to a 50-amp locking shore power pedestal. Flame-retardant, heat-resistant PVC. Power Grip handles for easy plugging and unplugging. Threaded locking ring for a weatherproof connection.
The Camco 55552 is a short "dogbone" power adapter — an 18" cord with a 50-amp male plug on one end and a 50-amp locking female connector on the other. It's used to connect an RV's 50-amp power cord to a campground pedestal or shore power connection that uses a locking-style 50-amp receptacle, bridging the gap between standard and locking connector types.
Constructed with a heavy-duty, flame-retardant, heat-resistant PVC sheath for protection against wear and outdoor elements, the adapter features Camco's Power Grip handles on both ends — these make plugging and unplugging easier and reduce strain on the cord and connector pins. The female end includes a threaded locking ring that creates a weatherproof connection, providing extra protection against moisture during outdoor use.

Dogbone adapter (55552 — this item): A short cord, typically under 2 feet, used to adapt between different connector types or amperages — for example, connecting a 50-amp RV cord to a locking 50-amp pedestal, or a 50-amp RV to a 30-amp/15-amp outlet. Not intended to add reach. Extension cord (e.g. Camco 55199, 55542): A long cord — 15 to 50 feet — used to reach a power source that's farther away from the RV's parking spot, with matching connectors on both ends. If you need more reach to the power pedestal, an extension cord is the correct product. If you need to adapt between connector types, a dogbone adapter like the 55552 is correct.
The 55552 adapts a standard 50-amp male plug (from the RV's cord) to a locking 50-amp female receptacle (at the pedestal). If your RV's power cord already has a locking connector, or if the pedestal uses a standard (non-locking) receptacle, this adapter isn't needed — confirm both connector types before ordering.
