Camco30 Amp / 125VCSA CertifiedCamco 55382 Power Grip Generator Adapter -- L14-30P to TT-30R, 12 Inch Dogbone

Running your RV from a portable generator with an L14-30 locking outlet? This Camco Power Grip dogbone adapter is the direct link between your generator's 4-prong twist-lock receptacle and your rig's standard TT-30 shore power cord -- no additional adapters, no improvised wiring. The twist-lock male end stays firmly seated against generator vibration, while the ergonomic Power Grip handle makes connect and disconnect fast even in low light or tight spaces.

Connect Your Generator to Your RV Shore Power Cord -- The Right Way

Many mid-size portable generators -- Honda, Generac, Champion, and others -- feature an L14-30 twist-lock receptacle that outputs 120/240V split-phase power. Your RV shore power cord, however, terminates in a standard TT-30 (30-amp RV) plug. Without an adapter, these two connectors are physically incompatible.

The Camco 55382 bridges that gap with a purpose-built 12-inch dogbone cord. The male end is an L14-30P 4-prong twist-lock plug that seats and locks into the generator's L14-30 receptacle. The female end is a TT-30R socket that accepts your existing RV 30-amp shore power cord. Rated for 30 amps at 125V (3,750 watts), this adapter handles the full load of a typical 30-amp RV system.

Twist-Lock Male Plug

L14-30P locking design twists and locks into generator receptacle -- vibration cannot back it out during operation.

Power Grip Handle

Oversized ergonomic grip on both ends simplifies plugging and unplugging, even with work gloves on.

CSA Certified

Canadian Standards Association certification confirms the adapter meets North American electrical safety requirements for RV and generator use.

Dogbone Form Factor

12-inch flexible cord between ends provides working clearance at the generator panel and reduces stress on both connectors.

What Generators Is This Adapter Designed For?

This adapter is built for generators equipped with an L14-30 (NEMA L14-30) twist-lock receptacle -- a 4-prong, 30-amp, 125/250V locking outlet common on generators in the 3,500 to 8,000+ watt range. Common compatible generator models include units from Honda (EU7000iS, EM5000), Generac (GP5500, XC6500E), Champion (100520, 76533), Westinghouse (WGen7500), and many others with this outlet type.

Important Compatibility Note: This adapter uses the generator's L14-30 receptacle and delivers 120V single-phase power to your RV's TT-30 cord. The adapter does not provide 240V service. Your RV 30-amp system operates on 120V, so this is the correct configuration for standard 30-amp RV hookup.

What RV Shore Power Cords Does the Female End Accept?

The female TT-30R socket accepts any standard NEMA TT-30 30-amp RV shore power cord -- the same cord you plug into a campground 30-amp pedestal. This includes Camco's own PowerGrip shore power cords as well as third-party 30-amp RV cords. The female socket is not compatible with 50-amp (14-50 or SS2-50) cords.

Not a 50-Amp Adapter: This product is specifically for 30-amp TT-30 RV systems. If your rig has a 50-amp (SS2-50) shore power cord, you need a different adapter. Do not attempt to use this product with 50-amp cords or receptacles.

Installation and Use Tips

  • Always connect the adapter to the generator before starting the generator and before connecting your RV shore power cord.
  • Align the L14-30P male prongs with the generator receptacle slots, insert fully, then twist clockwise until it locks.
  • To disconnect, twist counterclockwise to unlock the male plug before pulling -- do not yank the cord without unlocking first.
  • Inspect the cord jacket and contacts before each use. Discard if the jacket is cracked or contacts are corroded or bent.
  • Keep the adapter off the ground when in use to prevent moisture contact at the connectors.
Maintenance Tip: Store the adapter coiled loosely in a dry location. Tight coiling or kinking the 12-inch cord repeatedly can stress the jacket at the connector strain reliefs over time. A small zippered pouch works well for storage in your generator compartment or hookup kit.
Pair With: Camco's TT-30 RV shore power cords (25 ft or 50 ft), a Camco surge protector rated for 30-amp service, and a Camco electrical adapter storage bag to keep your hookup kit organized.
