The Camco Power Grip 12 in Dogbone, 15 A Male to 30 A Female, MPN 55165, connects a 30 A RV power cord to a standard 15 A household outlet. It has a 15 A male (NEMA 5-15P) plug and a 30 A female (NEMA TT-30R) receptacle, with Power Grip handles for a firmer hold when plugging in and unplugging.
The connection is limited to 15 A, 125 V / 1875 W, by the smaller 15 A end, so it lets a 30 A RV plug into a household outlet for light loads only. An adapter changes the plug shape; it never increases the power the outlet can supply.
Camco lists the 12 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. The Camco 55183 is a similar 12 in 15 A male to 30 A female dogbone with the same rating.
