Run your 30-amp RV from a portable generator with an L5-30 locking outlet -- no jury-rigged connections, no stripped plugs. The Camco 55272 PowerGrip gives you a certified, heavy-duty bridge between your generator and your RV shore power cord in a compact 12-inch dogbone format.
Many portable generators -- Honda EU3000iS, Yamaha EF3000iSEB, Champion 3500W and similar -- feature a NEMA L5-30 twist-lock outlet rather than the TT-30 outlet found on RV pedestals and most RV shore cords. Without the right adapter, you either can't plug in at all or you're forced to use undersized extension cords that can overheat under RV load.
The Camco 55272 PowerGrip solves this directly. The male L5-30P plug twists and locks into your generator's L5-30 receptacle, while the female TT-30R end accepts your standard 30-amp RV power cord. The 12-inch dogbone cord keeps the connection tidy and strain-free without tangling underfoot.
NEMA L5-30P male plug twists and locks into compatible generator L5-30 receptacles for a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
NEMA TT-30R female receptacle accepts any standard 30A RV shore power cord plug -- the same fitting used at campground pedestals nationwide.
Angled PowerGrip body is easier to grip and rotate for plugging and unplugging, especially when space around the generator outlet is tight.
Full 100% copper 10-gauge, 3-conductor wire handles the full 30A/3750W load without voltage drop or heat buildup over the 12-inch run.
Cheaper adapters use copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire, which has roughly 60% of copper's conductivity. Under a sustained 30A RV load -- air conditioner plus refrigerator plus converter -- CCA wire runs hot, degrades faster, and can be a fire hazard. The Camco 55272 uses 100% copper conductors throughout, which is the correct spec for a 30A circuit at this current rating.
The NEMA L5-30 twist-lock outlet is common on higher-output portable inverter and conventional generators including:
Check your generator's outlet label before ordering. If your generator shows "L5-30" or "NEMA L5-30" next to a round three-prong locking receptacle, this adapter is the correct fit.
Plug the L5-30P male end into your generator's L5-30 outlet and twist to lock. Then plug your existing 30A RV shore power cord (TT-30 male) into the TT-30R female end of this adapter. The adapter itself is only 12 inches long -- you still need your full-length RV shore cord to reach from the generator to your RV's inlet. This adapter is not a replacement for your shore cord; it is a plug-type converter only.
This adapter outputs a single 30A/125V leg. If your RV has a 50-amp (TT-50 or 14-50) inlet, you will need a separate 50A-to-30A dogbone adapter between this adapter and your rig. Running a 50A RV on 30A power is possible but limits which appliances you can run simultaneously -- typically one rooftop AC, the refrigerator, and lighting, but not two ACs at once.
