Works Perfectly.

Works just as advertised. It even sets correctly (ground hole up) so that my camper cable plugs in with the cable going down at a natural angle. I have used it to power my Flagstaff Micro Lite with a Generac GP6500 (too loud to use at any formal campgrounds, but bearable when the power goes out in the heat of mid-summer and you need a place with a/c, lights and a tv). I have a 50' power cord, too, so I can park the generator a little further from the camper whether at home or at a remote, private site.

Simple, effective, inexpensive adapter.

I stocked our Class B+ Chinook RV with a small variety of power adapters so that we could be .... adaptable ... to whatever we encounter out on the road. The Camco 55223 allows you to use your RV's built-in 30-amp cord with a conventional extension cord (note that you should have the fattest "conventional" extension cord you can find in your RV's locker ... 10-gauge (10/3) is a good idea). The little LED lamp in the adapter is great, too ... just a glance at the adapter shows that it's hot so you don't have to go inside the RV and eyeball your power panel to verify that you're energized. Nice.

Great adapter, fits in standard outlet box

I purchased a new RV with a 30 amp plug on it. In order to go camping with a cold fridge, I needed to be able to plug the RV into a standard household outlet. This little adapter does the job. This adapter is small enough to fit in my outdoor outlet box at my house. Please remember that this adapter only allows 15 amps of current to flow. This is not meant to power your RV's air conditioner, but rather charge the battery, run the lights and provide AC power for the fridge. I eventually did install a 30 amp RV outlet on my house, but this is always good to have if I am ever leaving from or staying somewhere that does not have a 30 amp RV outlet.

Didn't overheat and die like the adapter that came with our TT

We keep our travel trailer connected to a 120V source when not on the road to maintain the battery charge and occasionally run the heater and/or a dehumidifier in winter. The 30A:15A adapter that "came with" our trailer died a horrible death after a year due to the adapter overheating (and this is with the connection wrapped in plastic to make sure rain etc. didn't cause any issues). The Camco PowerGrip Durable Electrical Adapter has lasted for about a year without any signs of overheating - it looks brand new, whereas the "old" connecter was obviously melted and charred.

Perfect RV to household adapter

I live in Houston and just bought a Champion 3400 dual fuel generator for power emergencies; we've lost power for up to a week following Hurricanes Ike and Harvey and even some serious tropical storms. I love my new generator, but Champion dedicates one of the sockets supplying half the power for a direct RV connection. That's all well and good, but I don't own an RV and want to take advantage of ALL my generator's power output goodness. The Camco PowerGrip Adapter plugs right into the RV outlet to provide a nice, firm standard socket to power my refrigerator or microwave or whatever else I need. Heck, the color even matches my generator! It's a big, solid piece of hard rubber that didn't even get warm (I checked) when I used my 12 amp, 1440 watt electric lawnmower to mow the yard. I don't know why these things drop the amperage output from 30 to 15 amps, but all of them do it. Anyway, a big, fat five stars for the Camco PowerGrip Adaper!

Cheap, effective, hard to lose!

Bought so that we could use the RV electricity hook up at a campsite. It did exactly what it was supposed to do - no power surges, it held up through a short downburst of rain, and I'm actually quite thankful for the bright color, as I dropped it one night and would have had a hard time seeing it in the dark if it wasn't so neon!

Very handy item.

We have an area that we park our 5th wheel in when loading, unloading or doing repairs that is pretty much wasted space the rest of the year. This adapter allows me to work on vehicles in that space and have power for tools etc. We have 50 and 30 cables for our rv. In some parks the power post only has those two and not a standard 15 amp 120 volt recdpticle. This allows you to have your rv hooked to 50 amp and use the 30 to power the adapter.

nice and grippy upgrade to old adapter

I got this as a replacement for my adapter that I use when my trailer is in my driveway and I plug it a regular extension cord running from my house. I had started to experience some connection issues and it It finally occurred to me that the old adapter was past its prime. the old adapter was also just slippery plastic and terrible to use when wet or even just sweaty. In comparison now, I can see my old one was also too small (in picture) and too slippery, especially when compared to this unit. For the money, this was a no-brainer upgrade. It came brand new with no dust and shiny new male and female parts. Nice and hefty and feels sturdy and rubbery. When I took a flashlight and looked at my old one, there was dirt and leaf debris and just general corrosion and in retrospect quite obvious it needed to be replaced. There's so many things with trailers, this was an easy preventative maintenance item and upgrade.

Works, simple, straightforward

I have a trailer with an 30 AMP RV cable and a Honda EU2000i companion generator with a 30 AMP outlet. This adapter works fine to connect the two. The adapter is a little loose - I was expecting a really tightly locking "twist lock" but I've never used any twist lock before so I don't know if this is normal or not. Incidentally I use the EU2000i companion generator on its own. I don't need the full 3200w/4000w peak of the parallel set up (even if I have both generators) so I use only the companion. It works fine. If I knew that I'd have bought a companion as my second generator, not three EU2000i generators first and then a EU2000i companion generator. I've used this 10 hours a day for a three days so far (outdoor event thing) and it's been fine, no weirdness. Due to the RV cable angle I need to elevate the generator a bit to prevent the power cable from pulling the adapter out. I'm going to attach a picture.

good quality

Some of these adapters that are used to convert 30 amp to 15 amp will get hot and melt due to poor quality contacts and construction. This one does not get hot. Not even if we run out 13,500 BTU A/C.
