The Camco 55512 bridges the gap between 50-amp locking-style outlets -- common on generators, marine pedestals, and industrial power sources -- and standard 50-amp RV shore power cords. The 18-inch dogbone cord gives you enough slack to make a clean, strain-free connection, and the Power Grip molded handles make plugging and unplugging straightforward even in tight pedestal boxes.
Many portable generators, marina power pedestals, and commercial campsite hookups use a locking-style 50-amp outlet rather than the straight-blade NEMA 14-50 receptacle built into most RV power cords. Without an adapter, you simply cannot plug in. The Camco 55512 solves that with a locking male plug on one end and a NEMA 14-50 female receptacle on the other, connected by a flexible 18-inch cord.
This is a pure plug-style adapter -- it does not step up or step down voltage, and it does not limit or boost available amperage. Whatever the source supplies at 50 amps is what reaches your coach. Think of it as a physical translator between two 50-amp connector standards.
Camco's oversized molded handles give you a firm, controlled grip when connecting or disconnecting under load -- reducing stress on both the adapter body and the outlet.
The flexible cord keeps the adapter from acting as a rigid lever against the outlet face, protecting both connectors and the pedestal housing from mechanical stress.
Rated for 125/250V systems, matching the full operating range of 50-amp RV electrical systems that carry two 120V legs for a combined 240V capacity.
Specifically useful for connecting to 50-amp locking generator outlets and marina-style locking pedestals where straight-blade 14-50 receptacles are not available.
No additional cables, adapters, or accessories are included.
Full-timers and boondockers who travel between campgrounds, marinas, and generator hookups will encounter locking 50-amp outlets regularly. Keeping the 55512 in your RV's electrical kit means you are never turned away from a site due to incompatible outlet styles.
This adapter changes only the physical connector style. It does not alter available current. The maximum power delivered to your RV is still governed by the source breaker and your coach's own 50-amp service. Do not attempt to use this adapter to exceed the rated amperage of either the source or the adapter itself.
The 55512 is designed for common 50-amp locking connector styles. Before purchase, confirm your marina or generator outlet uses a standard 50-amp locking configuration -- not a 30-amp locking or a proprietary industrial pattern.
No. It is a pass-through adapter. The available amperage at your RV's shore power inlet is determined by the source circuit breaker and the service rating of the outlet, not by the adapter itself.
No. The 55512 is a 50-amp-to-50-amp adapter only. Do not use this adapter with 30-amp cords or outlets. For 30-amp applications, Camco offers separate adapter products designed for that configuration.
