Voltec RV Locking Adapter 50/30 Amp Male To Female - 2'

The Voltec 16-00591 RV locking adapter uses a short section of cord to connect a 50 amp locking style outlet to a 30 amp RV style receptacle. It is designed for setups where your generator or pedestal uses a 50 amp locking connector, but your RV or cord is configured for 30 amp TT-30 service.

The 2 foot dogbone style design gives you some flexibility and strain relief at the outlet while keeping the adapter compact enough for easy storage in an electrical bay or toolbox.

FAQ

Q: Does this adapter give my 30 amp RV more power?
A: No. Your RV is still limited to 30 amps by design. The adapter simply allows you to plug into a 50 amp locking source.

Q: Why use a short cord instead of a solid adapter block?
A: The flexible section helps reduce stress on the outlet and lets the heavier RV cord hang more naturally, which can extend the life of both the outlet and the connector.
