Heavy-duty 30-foot extension cord for RV, mobile home, and household outdoor use. 15-amp standard household plug (NEMA 5-15P male to 5-15R female). 100% copper 14-gauge wire. Flame-retardant heat-resistant PVC jacket. 125V/1875W rated.
The Camco 55142 is a 30-foot heavy-duty outdoor extension cord rated for 15-amp service — designed for RV, mobile home, and general outdoor use where a standard 15-amp household outlet needs to be extended to reach the load. It uses 100% copper 14-gauge wire, which is heavier than the 16-gauge wire common in consumer-grade extension cords, providing lower resistance, better conductivity, and less voltage drop over the 30-foot run.
The NEMA 5-15P (three-prong male) to NEMA 5-15R (three-prong female) configuration is the standard household outlet and plug configuration — this is not a 30-amp RV cord. It is rated 125V/1875W and is suited for powering RV accessories, outdoor equipment, tools, and appliances from a standard 15-amp household or campground pedestal outlet. The flame-retardant, heat-resistant PVC jacket protects the cord from outdoor exposure, wear, and temperature extremes.

The 55142 uses standard NEMA 5-15 household plugs — the same three-prong plug used on lamps and appliances. It is not a 30-amp RV shore power cord (which uses NEMA TT-30 plugs) and cannot be used to connect an RV to a 30-amp campground pedestal without an adapter. This cord is intended for powering 120V accessories and equipment from a standard 15-amp outlet. For a 30-amp RV extension cord, see Camco 55191 (25 ft.) or 55197 (50 ft.).
Most RVs connect to campground shore power via 30-amp (NEMA TT-30) or 50-amp (NEMA 14-50) service. The 55142 is a standard household extension cord — use it for accessories and tools, not as a main shore power extension cord for a 30-amp RV.
