The Camco Power Grip 18 in Dogbone Adapter, 50 A Male to 30 A Female, MPN 55173, connects a 30 A RV power cord to a 50 A pedestal outlet. It has a 50 A male (NEMA 14-50P) plug and a 30 A female (NEMA TT-30R) receptacle, with Power Grip handles for a firmer hold when plugging in and unplugging.

The adapter is rated 125 V / 3750 W, so the RV still draws no more than 30 A even though the pedestal outlet is 50 A. An adapter changes the plug shape; it never increases the power the outlet can supply.

Camco lists the 18 in dogbone with Power Grip handles. Our store listing gives the wire as 10/3, 100% copper, flame-retardant heat-resistant PVC sheath. Our store listing states a limited 12-month warranty. Keep the plug and receptacle dry and fully seated.

Installation & Compatibility Guides

Check Both Connections and the Electrical Rating

The 55173 changes a 30 A RV connection to fit a 50 A pedestal outlet. Check these six points before you buy.

Cordset, Adapter or Replacement Connection?

A cordset carries power from the pedestal to the RV, an adapter changes the plug shape at one end, and an inlet is the fixed socket on the RV. Each needs the right mating parts.

Compare both connector ends and ratings rather than assuming a matching amperage means a fit. This adapter is limited to 30 A and does not change the outlet's supply capability.
