Connects your 30-amp RV power cord to a standard 15-amp household outlet. NEMA 5-15P male plug to NEMA TT-30R female receptacle. Compact pigtail design. Durable PVC construction. For temporary use when 30-amp service is not available.
Most campgrounds and RV parks offer 30-amp service at their hookup pedestals — but sometimes you find yourself without it. Home driveways, overflow parking areas, friend's houses, and some older campgrounds may only have a standard 15-amp household outlet available. The Valterra A10-1530AVP Mighty Cord adapter bridges the gap, letting you plug your 30-amp RV power cord into a standard 15-amp outlet so you can still run lights, the refrigerator, and basic appliances while you wait for a 30-amp spot or make do at a non-standard location.
The adapter features a NEMA 5-15P male plug (the standard two-blade-plus-ground plug found on any household cord) on one end and a NEMA TT-30R female receptacle (the round 30-amp RV outlet) on the other, so your RV's 30-amp power cord plugs straight in. The compact pigtail design keeps both connections close together without a long dangling cord, and the durable PVC construction holds up to outdoor use at the campsite or driveway. Part of Valterra's Mighty Cord line, a trusted brand in RV electrical accessories since 1981.

Plug-and-play connection — plug the 15-amp end into the available outlet, plug your RV cord into the 30-amp female end
This adapter allows your 30-amp RV power cord to physically connect to a 15-amp outlet — but the available power is still limited to whatever the 15-amp circuit can supply. Using this adapter does not give your RV access to 30-amp power. What this means in practice: • Your RV's total power draw must stay within 15 amps (approximately 1,800 watts at 120V) at all times • Running high-draw appliances simultaneously — air conditioning, microwave, electric water heater — will trip the breaker • Air conditioners in particular draw 12–15 amps alone, leaving little headroom for other appliances This adapter is best for: • Charging batteries, running lights, and operating the refrigerator during short stays at a home or non-RV location • Temporary use when 30-amp service is unavailable — not as a permanent substitute for proper 30-amp hookup Never exceed the 15-amp capacity of the outlet or circuit the adapter is plugged into. Doing so risks tripping breakers, overheating wiring, or creating a fire hazard.
Connecting Your RV to a 15-Amp Outlet: 1. Locate a 15-Amp Outlet: Find a standard 15-amp household outlet — in your garage, on an exterior outlet at home, or at a campground 2. Check the Circuit: Confirm the outlet is on a dedicated or lightly loaded 15-amp circuit — avoid outlets on shared circuits with other high-draw appliances 3. Plug Adapter into Outlet: Insert the NEMA 5-15P male end of the adapter into the 15-amp outlet 4. Connect RV Power Cord: Plug your RV's 30-amp power cord into the adapter's NEMA TT-30R female receptacle 5. Manage Your Load: With only 15 amps available, be mindful of which appliances you run simultaneously — avoid running the air conditioner while using the microwave or other high-draw appliances Never exceed the 15-amp capacity of the source circuit. Unplug from the adapter and use proper 30-amp service whenever it is available.
