  • Yes, the Camco Power Grip Generator Adapter for RV Power Cord # CAM55422 is indeed CSA certified for use. This 125-Volt adapter cord will convert your RV's 50-amp power plug so that it will work with a 30-amp twist-lock outlet on a generator. The twist-lock design on the male plug will help keep the connector plugged in while the generator vibrates. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.

  • Different Adapters To Connect 50 Amp RV Plug Into a 30 Amp Generator Connection
  • Cord color really has no particular indication for a specific use. Most of the time the color is something specific to that manufacturer. Camco in particular uses mostly yellow on their adapters like Power Grip RV Power Cord Adapter # CAM55185. Mighty Grip will offer some Red # A10-3050FHVP and Black # A10-3050FBK adapters. All these do the same as the Camco listed above just a different color for that brand. Since you mentioned connecting to a generator I also recommend verifying the...

  • Different Connectors Used on 50-Amp RV Extension Cords versus 50-Amp Power Cords
  • We offer 50-amp-rated power cords for RVs for connection to generators and to shore power at a campground. Extension cords can have the same current capacity but will have different connectors since they are intended to just match the existing ones to extend your connection length. Extension typically have a male and female connector of the same type.

  • Yes, the Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # GP66FR is compatible with your pre-wired ZAMP port on your trailer, and you will not need any additional adapters. You may also want to check the polarity of your Zamp plug as they have been known to wire things backwards. I have included an FAQ that goes into a bit more detail on this. For your Jackery 500 it is not recommended to bypass the included charge controller however this panel does has both an...

  • Will My Factory Brake Controller Be Compatible With An EOH Actuator?
  • Generally we have not had problems with the newer Ram factory brake controllers being compatible with EOH systems. Ford and Chevy controllers are much more notorious for having issues. That being said, we cannot say for sure if you will have issues or not. If you need to use an EOH actuator like the Hydrastar # HBA16, you can add on the adapter module # HBA-CAM. In most cases this will resolve the issue and allow things to work normally. If the Adapter module does not resolve the issue,...

  • The duel fuel feature is typically only available on larger generators like the etrailer 4,500-Watt Portable Generator part # 333-0005 which is rated at 4,500 watts. We do not offer the etrailer 3,200-Watt Portable Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 with the duel fuel feature. If you needed the dual fuel feature then you would have to upgrade to the 4,500 watt unit.

  • Powering Interior Lights of Enclosed Trailer With 12 Volt Battery
  • There is a simpler way than a generator, as this would be difficult, and most generators that have a 12 volt outlet require that only to be used for battery charging. So I recommend a standalone battery on your enclosed trailer, and I'm sure you can find somebody to do it for you, yes. You'll need to utilize local resources though to find someone such as a local handyman possibly or some other individual comfortable with wiring. What you'll do is use a 12 volt battery mounted on the trailer....

  • Do Trailer Wheels And Tires Require Balancing?
  • Our trailer tire and wheel packages do not come balanced as they do not require it. Trailer wheel and tires are designed to support heavy loads and generally not looked at for a smooth vibration free ride. That is the same reason you virtually never see shocks on a trailer. Vehicles that carry passengers will have the wheels balanced to provide a smooth ride for the passengers inside the vehicle as well as provide a smoother ride for the suspension and steering components. Since trailers...

  • Identifying 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter Or Replacement Gooseneck Pin Box On Keystone Cougar
  • Your Keystone Cougar will either have a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that is attached to the pin box or the entire pin box was replaced for a pin box that is only designed to work with a gooseneck connection. If it is an adapter you will be able to see bolts or bolt holes that are used to attach the adapter to the 5th wheel pin. This connection will also stand out as the mounting surface is generally a large flat square where the 5th wheel pin is attached as seen in the picture included....

  • Wiring A 7-Way Plug To A Trailer With Only 5 Wires
  • As far as your trailer side, We would have to assume that the green is your right turn, yellow is left turn, and brown is tail lights. Generally white will be ground and black will be 12v power. That being said, wire colors are not universal, and we do recommend going in with a wire tester # PTW2993 to determine function. When installing the 7 way, you would leave the purple (reverse lights) and blue (brake output) wires disconnected. Since it sounds like your trailer is not wired for...

  • What Kind Of Plug Do I Need In Order To Use The DX29FR Surge Brake Actuator
  • The Dexter Surge Brake Actuator # DX29FR features an electric lockout. The surge brake actuator itself does not need to be plugged in to anything for it to work. The electric lockout does need to be wired if you want to be able to back up without locking up the brakes. The blue wire goes to your vehicles reverse light circuit, the white wire is a ground. This allows you to back the trailer up without actuating the brakes. Generally trailers with a surge brake actuator and electric lockout...

  • Upgrading A 5 Flat To A 7 Way And Where To Connect Reverse Solenoid Wire

The reverse lights are generally wired to the center pin on the 7 way plug # PK12706. I have included a diagram which the locations of each circuit.

  • Can I Use A Dometic Brisk AC With A Coleman Air Distribution Box
  • I am sorry but we do not carry an adapter harness that will connect a Coleman distribution box to a Dometic Brisk Ac unit. The distribution boxes and ac units generally need to be brand specific. We do carry a conversion kit # C-FACR15SA-A01 that allows a Furrion brand AC unit like the # FR26PR to be compatible with a Coleman distribution box. We do not actually carry the Dometic brand air conditioners, so there may be an adapter for this purpose out there somewhere, but we do not have...

  • Do 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapters Place Additional Stress on Trailer Frame
  • Yes, it is true that most types of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters will cause stresses on the trailer's frame and in some instances may actually void the warranty on the trailer frame. However, there is one type of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that does NOT place any extra stress on the coach's frame and that will NOT void your frame warranty. That type of adapter is called a Goosebox, made by Reese. A Goosebox such as # RP85FR is a replacement pin box that bolts on in place of your...
