Power Grip Adapter – 30A Male to 50A Female

Don’t get caught without a 30amp male to 50amp female adaptor in campground or RV parks that don’t offer 50 amp service. I own this exact item and it is very nice to have the “power grip adapter”. The handle really acts as a safety device so you don’t accidently get a 30 amp jolt. If you’re camping without a 30/50 adapter, you may not be able to plug-in.

Heavy Duty 30-amp 10/3 STW Cord

I have a fifth-wheel trailer that is pulled by a Dodge 2500. When you back into your camp spot and level the trailer, open the slide-outs and get ready to have a beer right after you plug into your 30amp plug, you may realize that your cord just won’t reach. I’ve done this before and it didn’t make me very happy. I had to run around town looking for a 30 amp extension cord only to find that nobody carried one. We were stuck without power that weekend but never again. Pick up your 30 amp extension cord by clicking on the image below.

Have you ever pulled your motorhome into camp, set everything up, opened slide-outs and levelled the coach only to find that your cord won’t reach ? Well I’ve done this and it certainly isn’t convenient. Sometimes you don’t have a lot of choice due to trees or other obstructions. Don’t get caught without a 50 amp extension cord on your next trip.

50 amp camping in a 30 amp service campground

50 amp service

There are a lot of campgrounds that offer 30 amp servce but not 50 amp. Usually this means that you’ll need a 50amp to 30amp adapter and you may not be able to run two air conditioning units (as most motorhomes have) at the same time. Forget about running the microwave or other high amperage appliances while the a/c is running.50-amp-service

This image is typical of any campground : 30amp service (round plug) and 15amp service (regular receptical). These are two separate curcuits that total 45amps together. You just need the 50 amp adaptor so you can plug into the 30amp outlet and the 15 amp outlet.

If you have a 50-amp motorhome, you will need a Power Grip™ Maximizer Adapter! 50-amp Generator Adapter adapts a standard 30-amp and 15-amp plug for a total of 45-amp service Don’t go without just because you’re a 50-amp RV in a 30-amp campground!
