Camco50 Amp90-Degree LockingCamco 55562 Power Grip 50 Amp 90-Degree Locking Adapter -- 18 In Dogbone

Tight campground pedestal? Cord pulling straight out at an awkward angle? The Camco 55562 Power Grip adapter puts a 90-degree bend between your 50 amp shore power cord and the pedestal outlet, routing the cord downward and relieving tension at the plug face. The molded Power Grip handles make it easier to lock and unlock under heavy-gauge cord resistance.

Clean Hookups at Cramped Pedestals

The SS2-50 locking outlet is the standard 50 amp connector found at most RV parks, but those outlets are frequently mounted close to enclosure edges, landscape timbers, or adjacent equipment. A straight cord exit yanks sideways on the outlet face and can stress both the plug and the outlet body over time. The Camco 55562 changes that exit angle to 90 degrees, so your shore power cord drops away cleanly toward the ground instead of jutting straight out.

The 18-inch dogbone cord between the male plug and the female connector adds enough separation that you can position the female end at a convenient angle before the main cord begins its run to the RV. Power Grip oversized handles are molded into the plug body, giving you real leverage when engaging or releasing the locking collar -- useful when hands are cold or gloves are on.

90-Degree Plug Exit

Cord routes downward from the pedestal outlet instead of straight out, reducing mechanical stress on the outlet face and your shore power cord.

Power Grip Handles

Oversized molded handles on the plug body provide better leverage for engaging and releasing the locking collar, even with gloved hands.

18-Inch Dogbone Cord

Provides enough separation between male and female ends to position the connector at the right angle before the main cord begins its run.

SS2-50 Locking Connector

Mates with the standard 50 amp locking outlet (NEMA SS2-50) found at the vast majority of campground pedestals across North America.

Where This Adapter Makes the Biggest Difference

This adapter earns its keep in a few specific situations common to RV owners:

  • Pedestals mounted low to the ground -- the 90-degree angle lets the cord exit toward the ground naturally rather than looping back up before heading to the rig.
  • Pedestals inside enclosures or recessed boxes -- extra depth can make straight plugs nearly impossible to seat fully; a 90-degree male end clears the enclosure wall.
  • Long or heavy 50 amp cords -- cord weight pulling on a straight plug increases wear on the outlet blade contacts over time; changing the exit angle distributes that load differently.
  • Full-time RVers -- plugging and unplugging daily adds up; Power Grip handles reduce effort and connector wear over thousands of connections.
Locking Collar Security: The male plug engages the SS2-50 locking outlet with a twist-lock collar, keeping the connection secure even if the cord is bumped or tugged. This is the same secure-lock design required for 50 amp RV service.
Cord Routing Tip: After plugging in, allow the dogbone cord to hang naturally toward the ground before connecting your main 30- or 50-foot shore cord. This reduces the bend radius on both the adapter cord and your main cord near the pedestal end.
Verify Plug Type Before Purchase: The male end on this adapter is an SS2-50 locking plug. It will NOT fit standard straight-blade 50 amp outlets (NEMA 14-50). Confirm your pedestal outlet accepts an SS2-50 locking plug before ordering. Most campground 50 amp pedestals use SS2-50, but some residential hookups use NEMA 14-50 -- these are not interchangeable without a different adapter.
Maintenance: Inspect the plug contacts and locking collar before each season. Clean contact blades with an electrical contact cleaner if corrosion is visible. Do not use the adapter if the housing is cracked or the locking collar does not engage fully.

Important Information
  • This adapter is rated for 50 amps and 125/250 volts. Do not use with electrical loads exceeding the rating of your RV's shore power cord or the campground pedestal breaker.
  • The male plug end is SS2-50 locking style only. It will not fit NEMA 14-50 straight-blade outlets found in residential garages and some campgrounds. Verify outlet type before use.
  • Inspect the adapter before every use. Do not use if the housing is cracked, contacts are damaged, or the locking collar does not engage fully.
  • Always connect the adapter to the pedestal outlet first, then connect your RV shore cord to the adapter's female end. Disconnect in reverse order: shore cord first, then adapter.
  • Keep the adapter off wet ground during use. Do not allow it to sit in standing water.
