Questions & Answers

Can you tell me what gauge the wire is on ?

There is no mention of that in the adapter's data

Do you also provide the 50amp male plug with this unit? Can you tell me the Camco number?

Obviously you can have the male plug with a 50 amp rating as well. Amazon is also an option for the 50 amp, which can be purchased by calling 55562.

A part number of 55582 has been assigned a cable that is an extension for an existing one in that it has a male and female connector of the same type on both ends?

Both ends of a cable must be male, a violation of the Electrical Code and a Safety Risk. The exposed male end of a cable that's both male and short would be energized, possibly injuring someone or killing them. With this 18" Camco Power Grip (240 Volt End) I connect the trailer to my trailer's power and use the other end to plug into a 120 Volt, 20 Amp Extension cord for charging batteries and powering the trailer's lights! I did not experience any problems with this Camco Power Grip energizing the two busses of my trailer's power panel. To avoid a fire, do not operate an appliance with an air conditioner, and for prolonged periods, do not exceed 15 amperes on any circuit breaker over 20 amperes

Is it true that the 110v socket can be attached to both ends of the 50 amp socket in the ?

I'm not sure, but everything seems to work

What I would like is for there to be a better system
3/5

The battery doesn't last too long, but I've had to replace it several times because of burnouts. It only hangs there without any problems until there are any No obvious reason for it has been found. It does not seem to be getting any wetter than usual, or overvoltage, or excessive current draw. An electrical panel on one unit did burn out due to water getting between the connections during a heavy rainstorm. There is nothing wrong with the product in that regard. While doing its own thing (hanging out), the others wore themselves out on dry days. It's easy for me to manage whatever I find in an old or new RV park with a box full of these things.

It was a little surprise for an otherwise excellent product
4/5

I was both happy and sad about this item. When I received it, it seemed well constructed and the components were of high quality I found out that its locking collar had broken when I received it. It appears that the broken piece was not placed in the box, which suggests that the item was probably broken when packaged, which would not be a good sign. I will unfortunately have to keep it since I need it for my upcoming trip in a few days and I do not have time to wait for a replacement to arrive. Fortunately, the electrical part of the power grip is in excellent shape, meaning it should operate smoothly.

It's awesome! I recommend you buy it! It has worked great for what I needed
5/5

I enjoyed getting it and it has been very helpful for my use. Since I lack enough space between my house and the fence to run a 50 amp cord when the unit is parked, I have to use an extension cord. My pug can be parked in this space after it has been parked for a while, and its charge can be converted to 30 amps, which is what I have for my plug at I like how well-made, secure, and solid it is. My recommendation is that anyone who needs to go from a 50 amp unit hookup to a 30 amp cord should keep this adapter on hand. This saves me from having to untangle the big, heavy 50 amp cord at times when the unit is parked beside my house in.

This is an excellent adapter at a bargain price
5/5

Despite its surprisingly low price, this high quality adapter is of incredible quality, and because of the 90 degree direction, it takes off a lot of stress from your RV's plug. When I was camping, I wanted to be able to use my 30A extension cord rather than the heavy 50A plug. Our power needs are met with a single ac unit, so we do not need 50A service. An adapter allows me to plug the heavy duty 15A extension cord into the male 30A end of the male 30A end of the 30A male end of the drive to charge the battery and run the refrigerator. Thus, it is even less likely that the 30A extension cord will be I'm very happy with this.

I love it
5/5

It has always been a source of concern for me that the heavy 50 AMP cable came with my RV would put too much strain on the plastic power fitting being that it would come straight Besides, I've never been a fan of hauling around the heavy 50 AMP cable in my RV since I do not really need it. With this 90 degree fitting, I can take the strain off of my RV's fitting and reduce the 30-AMP current down to 30AMP, so I can ditch my heavy bulky 50AMP cable at home and use my much lighter and more friendly 30-AMP.

The quality of the product is excellent
5/5

The product I wanted was of high quality, so I was happy with it. The 50 amp cord does not have to be towed around when not in use.

Conveniently attached to a 110 volt source
5/5

I prefer this to having to haul out my heavy 25 ft power cord when I only need 110 volts to recharge my RV batteries. You will need an adapter that goes from 30 to 110 amps.

During the early stages of the unit, it failed
3/5

After the warranty expired, I had used it only a few times, stored it indoors, and discovered that the cable/connector had failed within two weeks. The third connection has become open, so it is no longer working. We are very disappointed in the spending of our money. My money would be appreciated if it could be refunded. I am not sure if the manufacturer will stand behind it. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to refund.
