Camco Shore Power Adaptors
Camco Shore Power Adaptors: Trusted Connections on the Water and at the Campsite
When it comes to bridging the gap between your vessel or RV and a dock or campground power pedestal, few names carry the same weight as Camco. A long-standing manufacturer of marine and RV accessories, Camco has built a reputation for producing dependable, safety-tested electrical components — and their lineup of Shore Power Adaptors is a prime example of that commitment in action.
The PowerGrip Advantage
Camco's flagship shore power adaptor platform is the Heavy-Duty PowerGrip series. These adaptors are engineered for the real-world challenges of marina and campground use, where connections are made and broken repeatedly in all kinds of weather. The PowerGrip handle facilitates easy gripping, plugging, and unplugging without causing strain or damage to the adapter — a small but meaningful detail that adds up over a season of heavy use.
Yellow connectors help you see the adapter in dim lighting , which is especially valuable when you're connecting at dusk or in a poorly lit marina slip. These visibility-focused design choices reflect the kind of practical thinking that has made Camco a go-to brand among boaters and RV enthusiasts alike.
Wide Amperage and Configuration Coverage
Camco's shore power adaptor range covers the most common electrical configurations found at marinas and RV parks. The Camco Heavy-Duty PowerGrip Adapter is designed to adapt a marine-style 50-amp RV power inlet to a standard 30-amp power source , while other models in the lineup handle conversions between 50-amp, 30-amp, and even standard 15-amp household receptacles. One popular 125V adapter lets you connect your RV's 30-amp male power plug to a 15-amp receptacle , making it ideal for situations where only a standard household outlet is available.
For those needing a more compact solution at tight outlets, the Camco Heavy-Duty PowerGrip Adapter is also designed to adapt a 50-amp locking extension cord from a straight to a 90-degree connection — a feature particularly beneficial for reducing stress and pressure on marine-type power outlets .
Built for Safety and Durability
Safety compliance is a non-negotiable in marine electrical applications. Camco's shore power adaptors are ETL listed, underscoring their compliance with high safety and performance standards. The construction reflects serious attention to outdoor conditions: an 18-inch cord coated with a heavy-duty, flame-retardant, and heat-resistant PVC sheath offers exceptional protection against outdoor elements, wear, and tear.
The locking mechanism enhances the safety and reliability of the connection, particularly in environments where movement or vibration might otherwise loosen a standard plug — a critical feature for any boat that experiences wave action or wakes at the dock.
Durable, RV-grade construction ensures years of reliable use , making Camco adaptors a smart long-term investment for any vessel owner or full-time RVer who relies on shore power day after day.
The Right Adaptor for Every Power Situation
Whether you're pulling into a marina with a 30-amp pedestal but carrying a 50-amp cord, or visiting a campground that only offers a standard 15-amp outlet, Camco's range of shore power adaptors ensures you're never left without power.
