Voltec Power Cord Adapter, 5-15P Plug And 30 Amp Receptacle, 12"

The Voltec 16-00568 power cord adapter lets a 30 amp RV cord plug into a standard 15 amp outlet using a short 12 inch dogbone section of cable. A 5-15P straight blade household plug on one end and a TT-30R 30 amp RV receptacle on the other make it a flexible alternative to a solid block style adapter.

The short length of cable helps relieve strain on the outlet and the RV cord compared to a rigid adapter, and gives you a little flexibility in how the cord hangs from the receptacle.

FAQ

Q: Can I run an air conditioner through this adapter?
A: No. Most RV air conditioners require more current than a typical 15 amp household circuit can safely supply. Use this adapter for light loads and battery maintenance only.

Q: Does the 12 inch cord length help with outlet strain?
A: Yes. The flexible section reduces leverage on the outlet compared to a rigid adapter block, which can help protect the receptacle and the cord.
