Camco Mfg 55153 Rv Electrical Adapter 30A to 15A 125V

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 55153 is a dogbone-style electrical adapter designed to connect a 30-amp male plug to a 15-amp female receptacle. Built for RV and mobile home applications, it allows a 30-amp shore power cord to mate with a standard 15-amp campground or residential outlet. The adapter operates at 125 volts with a maximum load of 1875 watts. The Power Grip design provides a secure, comfortable hold during connection and disconnection. At 12 inches in length, it keeps the connection away from the outlet face and reduces strain on the plug. This adapter is typically handled by RV technicians, electricians, or experienced owner-operators performing temporary power hookups.

The 55153 is suited for temporary power connections at campgrounds, RV parks, or residential driveways where only a standard 15-amp household outlet is available and a 30-amp RV service cord needs to connect. It is also applicable to mobile home temporary power setups. The dogbone form factor keeps the adapter clear of adjacent outlet slots and reduces mechanical stress on the receptacle. This package contains 3 adapters per unit of measure.

Installation Notes

This adapter should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced RV technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for temporary power connections. Always ensure the power source is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the adapter. Do not exceed the 1875-watt maximum load rating, as overloading a 15-amp circuit through a step-down adapter can trip breakers or damage wiring. Inspect the adapter and receptacle contacts for corrosion or damage before each use.
