When your 50-amp RV pulls into a site or driveway with only a standard 15-amp household outlet available, this Camco Power Grip Dogbone adapter bridges the gap. The NEMA 5-15P male plug connects directly to a standard household receptacle, while the NEMA 14-50R female socket accepts your RV's 50-amp shore power cord -- no step-down box required. The molded Power Grip handle and 90-degree female connector make connecting and disconnecting easier, even in tight pedestal compartments or cramped utility rooms.
Most RV owners spend the majority of their camping life plugged into 30-amp or 50-amp pedestals, but real-world travel means occasionally relying on a garage outlet, a friend's driveway, or a rural campsite with only a standard 15-amp household receptacle. The Camco 55168 makes that connection without requiring a 30-amp intermediate adapter in the chain.
The 12-inch flexible cord keeps the connection compact and reduces stress at the pedestal outlet. The 90-degree female end is specifically designed to ease strain on both the cord and the outlet face, which matters when clearances are tight.
Heavy-duty molded polyvinyl handle gives you a confident grip when plugging and unplugging, reducing hand fatigue and the risk of accidental drops or arc events.
The right-angle 14-50R socket reduces cord strain and fits more easily into tight pedestal boxes or wall-mounted outlet locations.
Canadian Standards Association certification means the adapter has been independently tested for electrical safety -- important for use with high-draw RV systems.
Goes directly from a standard 15-amp household outlet to your 50-amp RV cord in a single adapter. No 30-amp step-down required in the chain.
This adapter is a physical and electrical bridge, not a power amplifier. When connected to a 15-amp, 125-volt source, your RV will draw a maximum of 1,875 watts (15A x 125V) from that circuit -- far less than the 12,500 watts a true 50-amp/240-volt service provides. Plan accordingly:
The adapter body and handle are molded from heavy-duty polyvinyl plastic, rated for outdoor use. The 12-inch cord length is intentionally short -- this is a dogbone-style adapter, not an extension cord. For additional reach, use a properly rated 15-amp or 30-amp outdoor-rated extension cord upstream of this adapter, not downstream.
Camco backs this adapter with a limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
