Shipped and delivered very fast! Packaged well. Excellent quality.
This heavy-duty extension cord is actually overkill for my purpose, which is simply to hook up a television and VCR, but with the heavy gauge, I will certainly rest easy, knowing that I'm not overloading a regular extension cord. I actually bought this because it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find cords that are 30 feet long, and was thrilled to find this.
Now, I need to buy an RV to use this with, lol.

Just received the adapter and haven't had a chance to use it yet. But I've wanted one of these for a long time now as the 50 amp plug sticks straight out from the receptacle. Always thought this was a dumb design as it puts a lot of stress on the plug and cord. The prices are starting to look more attractive so I decided to bite the bullet and get one.
by: Ray 04/26/2023
Works just as it should. Now I can use my 30 amp extension cord with my 5th wheel when I am at a campsite or storage that does not have 50 amp connections. The adapter arrived just a promised and the customer service was outstanding. I will order from etrailer again.

This plug is in use now, and working exactly as it should. It is a shoreline for our Class B RV, plugged into a home circuit. Delivery came as promised, on the day promised, decently packaged without a lot of waste. I'd give it 5 stars, but this has been used a few days only. Our last one was over 30 yrs old when it died.

This extension has been a game saver on a couple occasions. There have been a couple of parks where the extension has come in handy. Well made lives up to its expectations. A must have.

Just what I needed to take the stress off of my trailer electrical hookup. Heavy duty and well made.
by: Gary 04/24/2024
good product and received in a timely manner. Just wish they made them about 6" longer. Was covered in dust...must have been stored in the shed out back...lol.

I was in a jam and the staff at etrailer saved the day! Product was delivered ahead of schedule and worked perfectly!

This product is answer to my dreams. Have a 37' Pace Arrow which had a 3.5k generator which was only capable of running one a cat a time. Generator died and I quickly found out generator repair people are rarer than Amish electricians. Bought a 7k generator and was arranging to pay an electrician to wire it in to rv when I discoveees this incredible connection. It twists in to 120/240 outlet on generator and accepts 4 prong rv cord. GREAT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Turned on both ac's for first time since I owned rv, (over 10 yrs). Within mins rv was cool and I have enough power for another rv. This thing is great. I highly recommend to anyone with an rv with a small generator or generator in need of repair, go buy a 7k running amp generator and this plug and you're set with plenty of electrical power. Also, the quality and durability of this part is suprisingly amazing. You can easily run over this plug with your rv and not phase it. BUY ONE. This will be the best rv purchase you can make. Thank you ETRAILER for a great product worth twice the price easily. Will be ordering another one for a friend soon. 5??

The adapter was exactly what I needed. The package arrived 2 days prior to the estimated delivery date. I have always been impressed with the service.
by: Barry08/16/2021
This does all that I hoped for. It’s a solid connection to the 5th wheel. It doesn’t torque the connection with the weight of the cord sticking straight out,

Great service trailer has never let me down quick easy affordable
by: David08/10/2022
I bought it to provide strain relief for my RV power cord. It works well, except the locking ring can be frustrating (sticky and/or cross threading).
by: Carlos 12/03/2023
Works as advertised. Already used several times because the electrical panel was to far.

See what our Experts say about this Camco RV Power Cord
- Adapter Needed To Connect A 15 Amp RV To 30 Amp Shore Power PedestalThe Power Grip RV Power Cord Adapter w/ Handles # CAM55185 you referenced is for adapter from a 50 amp trailer to 30 amp shore power. Assuming that your trailer has a power cord with a 15 amp male end you would be able to use a 15 amp extension cord like # CAM55142 and then a 15 amp female to 30 amp male adapter plug # A10-3015ARDVP to connect to the shore power pedestal.
view full answer... - Can Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension be Used to Charge Tesla Model S BatteryThe Tesla charging systems have three grades. Levels 1-3. Level 1 is a 15 amp style of power source like what the # CAM55142 provides so this could be used as a charge wire. You should note that Level 1 charges provide 2 miles of range per hour.
view full answer... - Will Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 Work with a RefrigeratorThe Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 can be used for your refrigerator provided that 15 amps is the maximum power draw. Most appliances will draw more power when starting up than when they are just running so check the power draw sticker to see if 15 amps is the peak draw and if so then this cord can be used.
view full answer... - Plug Type of the Male End of Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142Yes, the male end of the Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 has 2 straight blades and one round pin. So it plugs into a standard grounded outlet like ones you would see in a house. I have included close up picture of the male end for you.

- Can Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 be Used in a 5th Wheel TrailerIf you have a 15amp maximum appliance that uses the standard 3-prong outlet and have that type of outlet in the 5th wheel trailer then yes, you can use Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142.
view full answer... - Wire Gauge Used in Camco Power Grip 30-Foot AC Extension Cord CAM55142Camco Power Grip 30-Foot AC Extension Cord # CAM55142 uses 14-gauge wire for its three conductors. This cord has a heavy insulating jacket that allows both indoor and outdoor use so its perfect for the RV, garage, backyard and workshop. The 15-amp current rating and 30-foot length make this extension cord ideal for many applications. If you need a handy way to keep the long cord organized for storage you might like the Camco Storage Handle # CAM55001.
view full answer... - Type of Connectors on Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension CAM55142No, the Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 works for standard household 125V 15-amp electrical service. It is the same type of extension cord and with the same type of connectors that you would find at any local hardware store. It has male and female 3-prong connectors like the power outlets in your home. The cord's heavy-duty construction and insulation allow it to be safely used indoors and outdoors.
view full answer... - Will Camco Power Grip RV Power Cord Extension CAM55142 Work for 50-Amp ServiceThe Camco Power Grip RV or Household 125V/15-Amp Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 cannot be used for 50-amp electrical service. This standard household-type extension cord uses 3-prong connectors like the appliances and power outlets in your home. For 50-amp use you need to use a cord with the connectors and amperage rating for that type of electrical service. For a 50-amp-rated extension cord you could use the 50-foot Mighty Cord # A10-5050EH or the 25-foot # A10-5025EH.
view full answer... - Can Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 be Used for Marine ApplicationsPower Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 wasn't designed specifically for marine applications but it could still work. However it would have to be kept away from any water since it isn't meant to keep out water.
view full answer... - Length and Wire Gauge for Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142The Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension # CAM55142 measures 30 feet long overall. It uses heavy-duty 14 gauge wire. I have linked a video review of it for you.
view full answer... - If RV Power Cable is Too Long Will it Damage AppliancesIt is possible, due to resistance and voltage drop off, that an appliance may not function properly if the power cable is longer than what is recommended by the appliance manufacturer. It will not immediately damage the appliance but over time could cause the appliance to fail. Most likely you will just notice that the appliance isn't working to its full capacity and if that occurs I do recommend using a shorter power cable than the 30 foot Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension...

I have added a link to a video review of this cord for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Power Adapter for 1985 Mallard Camper Into House 110vYour 1985 Mallard Camper has a 30 amp power supply. The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug - 30 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male - Round # A10-1530ARDVP or the Mighty Cord Dog Bone RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male - 12" - Black # A10-1530BK are the adapter you will need. You can use the Power Grip RV or Household Power Cord Extension - 125V - 15 Amps - 30' Long # CAM55142 for an extension but it will be best to use the larger 30 amp extension cord like # A10-3025E.
view full answer... - 30 Amp RV Power Cord ExtensionThe different amp ratings for RV power cords have/require different plug types so the 15 amp # CAM55142 may not work with a 30 amp cord. I would have to see your power cord so if possible email me some pictures of it. With the right extension though it would provide power to the RV. Ideally you would use a 30 amp power cord such as # CAM55191 to ensure compatibility. Another option is to use a separate AC powered battery charge with a regular extension cord (rated appropriately for the...
