Camco NEMA TT-30P ETL Listed Camco 55242 PowerGrip 30-Amp Male Replacement Plug -- NEMA TT-30P, 125V/3750W

Restore a damaged or cut 30-amp RV shore power cord with a properly rated, wire-on replacement plug. The Camco 55242 PowerGrip uses the standard NEMA TT-30P three-blade configuration required at campground pedestals and delivers a secure, code-compliant connection at 125V/3750W. ETL listed. Wiring instructions included.

The Right Fix for a Damaged 30-Amp RV Cord End

A bent blade, cracked housing, or accidentally cut cord end doesn't mean buying a whole new power cord. The Camco 55242 PowerGrip male plug lets you wire on a fresh, properly rated plug end using the existing cord -- saving time and money without compromising safety.

The TT-30P blade configuration is the industry-standard for 30-amp RV shore power connections across North America. This plug fits the receptacles found at virtually every campground pedestal wired for 30-amp service. The ergonomic PowerGrip handle gives you a confident grip when plugging in or pulling free, even in wet conditions or tight utility compartments.

NEMA TT-30P Configuration

Three-blade layout with one 120-degree-angled hot blade, one neutral blade, and a ground pin -- matches every standard 30-amp RV pedestal receptacle.

PowerGrip Ergonomic Handle

Wide, contoured grip makes plugging and unplugging easier, especially with gloves or in cramped hookup areas.

ETL Listed Safety Rating

Independently tested and listed to UL standards. Rated 125V/30A/3750W for full 30-amp RV service compatibility.

Wire-On Design with Instructions

Accepts stripped wire ends from your existing cord. Wiring diagram and instructions are included in the package -- no guesswork.

Who This Plug Is For

  • RV owners replacing a cracked, broken, or burned male plug on a 30-amp shore power cord
  • Full-timers and weekend warriors who want a spare plug end in their toolkit
  • RV technicians repairing customer cords on the road or in the shop
  • Anyone who accidentally cut or damaged the male end of a 30-amp cord

Wiring Overview -- What to Expect

The Camco 55242 is a wire-on plug, meaning you strip and attach the wires from your existing cord yourself. The housing unscrews or clamps apart to expose three terminals: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green). Terminals are screw-type for secure wire attachment. Wiring instructions are included. If you are not comfortable working with 30-amp wiring, have a qualified RV technician complete the installation.

  • Hot (black) wire -- angled blade terminal
  • Neutral (white) wire -- straight blade terminal
  • Ground (green or bare copper) wire -- round pin terminal

Cord Gauge Compatibility

For 30-amp service, your existing cord must be 10 AWG, 3-conductor (10/3) wire. Using undersized wire (12 AWG or smaller) with a 30-amp plug is a fire and shock hazard. Inspect the full length of the cord for damage before reusing it with a new plug end. Replace the entire cord if the jacket or insulation is cracked, melted, or severely kinked.

Related Products to Consider

  • Camco 55255 -- 30-amp female replacement connector (receptacle end) for the other cord end
  • 30-amp to 15-amp dogbone adapter for standard household outlet testing
  • 30-amp inline surge protector for campground power protection
  • Camco PowerGrip 30-amp extension cord if the full cord needs replacement

Maintenance and Storage Tips

  • Inspect blade terminals for corrosion or discoloration before each camping season
  • Keep the cord and plug dry during storage -- moisture accelerates corrosion at the terminals
  • Do not coil a hot, energized cord tightly -- allow it to lie loosely to prevent heat buildup
  • Apply a light coat of dielectric grease to the blades if used in coastal or high-humidity environments

Important Information

  • This plug is NOT pre-wired. You must strip and attach your existing cord wires to the screw terminals. Wiring instructions are included.
  • Always de-energize the power source completely before working on any shore power cord or plug. Unplug from the pedestal and verify with a meter.
  • Use only with 10 AWG (10/3) three-conductor cord rated for 30-amp service. Undersized wire is a serious fire hazard.
  • Inspect the full length of the existing cord before reusing it. Do not install a new plug on a cord with damaged insulation, melted sections, or exposed copper.
  • This plug fits NEMA TT-30P receptacles only. It is not interchangeable with 50-amp (NEMA 14-50P) or standard household (NEMA 5-15P/5-20P) outlets.
  • If you are unsure of correct wiring polarity or are not comfortable with electrical work, have a qualified RV technician complete the installation.
