Camco 55552 Power Grip 18-Inch Dogbone Adapter -- 50A Male x 50A Locking Female
Bridge the gap between your RV's standard 50-amp power cord and a locking-style 50-amp shore power pedestal. The Camco 55552 delivers a secure, weatherproof connection with ergonomic Power Grip handles, a threaded locking ring, and flame-retardant PVC construction built for outdoor use.
Not every campground pedestal uses the same connector standard. Some sites -- particularly those in RV parks, state park hookups, and marina facilities -- feature a locking-style 50-amp receptacle that won't accept a standard 50-amp plug without an adapter. The Camco 55552 solves this directly.
It's a short 18-inch "dogbone" cord with a standard NEMA 14-50P male plug on one end and a CS6365 locking 50-amp female connector on the other. Plug the male end into your RV's power cord or power inlet, thread the locking ring onto the pedestal receptacle, and you have a secure, weatherproof 50-amp connection with no current reduction or step-down conversion.
Oversized, ergonomic handle design makes plugging and unplugging easy even in tight spaces or with wet hands -- no struggling with flush-mounted plugs.
The female end features a threaded collar that threads onto the pedestal receptacle, locking the connection against accidental pull-out and reducing moisture intrusion.
Heavy-duty, heat-resistant, flame-retardant PVC jacket resists outdoor UV exposure, abrasion, and heat buildup -- rated for continuous 50-amp load service.
This is a same-amperage adapter -- 50A to 50A -- with no step-down. It passes the full 50A/125/250V service your RV requires for slide-outs, AC units, and high-draw appliances.
Because this adapter connects 50A to 50A (not 30A to 50A), there is no current reduction. Your RV receives the full 50-amp service available at the pedestal -- critical for rigs running dual air conditioners, electric water heaters, or large inverter systems simultaneously.
A "dogbone" is a short flexible power adapter cord -- typically 12 to 18 inches -- with a plug on each end. The shape and name come from the wider plug heads at each end and the narrow cord in between. Unlike rigid plug-on adapters, dogbones give you a short flex length that relieves stress on both the RV inlet and the pedestal receptacle.
The male end of the 55552 is a standard NEMA 14-50P plug (4-prong, 50A/125-250V), which mates with your RV's 50-amp power cord or inlet. The female end is a CS6365-style locking connector (50A, 125/250V), designed to thread onto the twist-lock receptacles found at many campground pedestals and shore power stations.
