Camco Power Grip Offset Adapter — 15A-to-50A RV electrical adapter with ergonomic handle, strain-relief design

The Camco Power Grip Electrical Offset Adapter converts a 15-amp campground outlet to safely power a 50-amp RV while reducing cord stress with its offset shape and ergonomic handle.

When a campground pedestal only offers 15-amp service but your RV uses a 50-amp plug, you need a reliable, compact adapter that protects the plug and makes connections quick and secure. Camco’s Power Grip Offset Adapter (model 55137) is built specifically for RV use: the offset body redirects cable strain away from the receptacle, and the molded handle provides a positive grip for plugging and unplugging. Small enough to stow in a compartment yet sturdy enough for frequent use, this adapter simplifies shore power hookups without adding bulk to your gear.

How does this adapter protect my RV’s power cord and inlet?

The adapter’s offset design repositions the cord entry to reduce bending and pull on the RV inlet and the campground receptacle. Less mechanical stress prolongs the life of cords and inlets and prevents loose connections that can cause heat build-up. Its molded exterior keeps wiring enclosed and stable during use.

• Offset architecture reduces lateral strain on plugs and receptacles.
• Enclosed molded housing protects internal contacts from accidental pull.
• Compatible with standard 50-amp RV cords and dogbones for flexible use.

Is the adapter easy to handle and store?

Yes — the Power Grip handle is sculpted for a secure, non-slip hold so you can plug and unplug without wrestling with the connection. Its compact footprint fits neatly into most storage compartments, making it convenient for frequent hookups and quick packing at checkout time.

• Ergonomic Power Grip handle for one-handed operation and more control.
• Compact dimensions (approximately 6 1/2" x 3 13/16" x 2 3/4") fit small storage bins.
• Lightweight design adds minimal bulk to RV accessory kits.

Will this work with other 50-amp cords and accessories?

The Camco adapter is intended for RV shore power and mates with standard 50-amp connectors, making it versatile for use with extension cords, dogbones, and other 50-amp accessories. Use only as an adapter between differing pedestal and RV plug configurations; it does not convert electrical service capacity.

• Designed for compatibility with common 50-amp RV cords and dogbones.
• Ideal for temporary connections to 15-amp campground pedestals.
• Not a voltage converter — matches physical plug shapes only.

Are there safety considerations I should know before using it?

Use this adapter to physically connect plugs—do not exceed the ampacity of the source outlet. Since a 15-amp pedestal cannot supply the full load a 50-amp RV could draw, manage onboard power usage to avoid tripping breakers. Inspect the adapter and cords periodically for wear and avoid using damaged or wet connections.

• Do not attempt to draw more current than the supply outlet provides.
• Keep connections dry and check for cracked or frayed wiring before use.
• Replace the adapter if contacts are loose, corroded, or damaged.

Who is this for? The Camco Power Grip Offset Adapter is ideal for RV owners and weekend campers who frequently encounter limited pedestal options and need a dependable, space-saving solution to connect a 50-amp RV to 15-amp campground outlets. It’s also useful for service techs, rental fleets, or anyone who wants an easier grip, reduced cord stress, and a compact accessory that lives in your RV utility storage.
