Camco30A to 15ATT-30P to 5-15RCamco 55232 Power Grip 30 Amp to 15 Amp RV Reverse Adapter

The Camco 55232 Power Grip reverse adapter lets you pull standard 15 amp power from a 30 amp TT-30 campsite pedestal -- no dongles, no extension cord splicing. It is the go-to solution when you need to run a tool, charge a battery, or power a small accessory directly from an RV pedestal that does not have a spare 15 amp outlet.

Run 15 Amp Devices from a 30 Amp Pedestal

Most campground pedestals include at least one 30 amp TT-30 outlet. If you need a standard 15 amp connection -- for a drill, a battery charger, a box fan, or an extension cord to a nearby work area -- this compact one-piece adapter is the cleanest solution. It plugs directly into the TT-30 socket and presents a standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the face.

The molded Power Grip handle on top makes a real difference after a long day. You can seat and remove the adapter with a firm, wrist-friendly grip rather than pinching at the plug body. That matters when your hands are cold or the outlet is at an awkward height on the pedestal.

Power Grip Handle

Molded ergonomic handle makes insertion and removal easy, even at low or awkward pedestal heights.

Compact One-Piece Body

Single molded unit -- no loose parts to lose. Fits in a tool bag, a drawer, or a hookup kit with ease.

Correct Plug and Receptacle

NEMA TT-30P male plug on the source side, NEMA 5-15R female receptacle on the load side -- standard configurations, no adapters needed.

15 Amp Load Limit

The 5-15R receptacle caps current draw at 15 amps regardless of pedestal capacity -- protects downstream devices and cords.

What This Adapter Does -- and Does Not Do

This is a reverse adapter, meaning it converts a large-format RV outlet into a smaller household-style receptacle. It is designed for powering small 15 amp loads at a campsite where TT-30 outlets are the only option available.

Good uses at the campsite:
  • Portable power tools (drills, circular saws, lights)
  • Battery chargers and laptop power supplies
  • Box fans, small heaters, and radios
  • Extension cords feeding a work area near the RV
  • Phone and device chargers plugged in while working outside
This adapter is NOT for powering an RV. Do not use this to back-feed your RV's electrical system. The 5-15R receptacle limits current to 15 amps, which is insufficient for RV air conditioners, water heaters, and other high-draw loads. Use a proper 30A or 50A shore power cord for the RV itself.
Voltage is unchanged. This adapter converts plug style only -- from TT-30 to 5-15R. It does not step down or transform voltage. Both sides remain 125 volts AC.

Fitting Into Your Hookup Kit

The 55232 is a smart item to keep in your hookup kit or toolbox alongside your 30 amp shore power cord. Many campers store it in a small zip bag with a 30A to 50A dog bone and a 15A to 30A adapter so they are covered for any pedestal configuration. The compact one-piece body does not add meaningful weight or bulk.

Storage tip: Keep this adapter in a small mesh pouch or sealed bag to prevent the prongs and receptacle from picking up debris or moisture between uses. Inspect the plug and receptacle contacts periodically for corrosion, especially if stored in a damp basement compartment.

Important Information
  • Maximum load is 15 amps. Do not exceed 15 amps of total draw on devices connected through this adapter.
  • Do NOT use this adapter to plug your RV into shore power. It is intended for small accessory loads only, not RV air conditioners, electric water heaters, or other high-current appliances.
  • This adapter does not change voltage -- both sides are 125 volts AC.
  • Inspect the plug prongs and receptacle contacts before each use. Do not use if contacts are corroded, bent, or damaged.
  • For outdoor use only in dry conditions. Do not leave plugged in unattended during rain or when the pedestal cover cannot protect the connection.
  • Always confirm the pedestal breaker is off or the outlet is unloaded before plugging or unplugging any adapter.
