Know before you buy
This adapter allows you to connect an RV with a 50-ampere marine-style power inlet to a standard 30-ampere power source, such as those found at many campsites.
The 90-degree head reduces the amount of strain placed on your RV's power inlet by allowing the cord to hang downward rather than sticking straight out. This design is particularly helpful in tight spaces or when your power inlet is located close to other obstructions.
Yes, the adapter includes a threaded locking ring that creates a secure, weatherproof seal when properly attached to your RV's power inlet.
The patented PowerGrip handle is ergonomically designed to provide a better, more comfortable grip, making it significantly easier to plug in and unplug the adapter without straining your hands.
No. Because you are stepping down to a 30-amp power source, your total power availability is limited to 30 amps. You will need to manage your power consumption carefully to avoid tripping the campground breaker.
