Camco Power Grip 90-Degree Locking RV/Marine Power Cord w/ Handle - 50 Amps - 18" Long

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.1280119

We have used it many times over this past year and so far I am happy with it. There is one glitch and that is the locking collar. It is plastic and for some reason it is challenging to get it started on the treaded outlet connector. Now this is plastic also so maybe its the combination of the two that makes it difficult to start. I wish both threaded pieces were made out of stainless steel instead of plastic.

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,1123901

The locking ring for the connection to the 5th wheel broke on our first outing I think. The unit was replaced and has worked as good as hoped since. After having this for a while now we have to be careful not to cross thread it. Maybe it could use a more course thread on it. Beyond that it works great and no stress on the sidewall.

As full timers we got the power grip because we had noticed that the heavy 50 AMP power cord was putting extra wear on the power inlet on the trailer. The solution was this power grip adapter! It is as easy to use the our current cord, and with the 90 degree offset the extra strain on the power input was gone. I would buy again, and recommend it for anyone that is look to keep the power cord and trailer in the best shape for continuing use, with the least amount of work.1537192

Works great to eliminate strain/torque on the power cord at the trailer connection.Exactly what I needed.1170334

Still doing a great job a year later...I highly recommend this addition to your power cord collection.

Product is perfect. Cost is high. ETA is excessive.1298696

One year in and my 90° cord continues to look and function like new!

Perfect 90 to take the extra stress off the plug on the side of my camper. Living in the camper full time and no issues whatsoever. Would recommend this product to anyone. Well worth the purchase1585731

This 45 degree 50 amp pigtail will save your shore power connection. It reduces undue strain on your outlet by sending the weight of the cable down instead of out. Both ends are screw in to maintain watertight integrity. eTrailer.com has the best price out there!1078280

Still working great! I do put a little silicone around the threads to keep it lubed up for ease of installation. Best pigtail out there!

Product is as described. It is well built and will fit my need to convert my 50A shore power cable (for an RV camper) to a 90 degree connection at the 50A input plug on the side of the RV. I will put it to use regularly.1092781

The elbow connector is doing it’s job. Much easier to connect to the side of our travel trailer than the straight cord connection that came with it. Extends the original cord by 2 feet and relieves the stress on the connection on the side of the trailer. Working well 798520

No problems. Doing the job it is designed for. Working better than new the few rough edges worn off, broke in well!

I got this to take the stress off the connections from the hose diameter 50 amp cord. It appears to be very heavy duty and it's nice to have the cord drop straight down instead of sticking straight out and then curving down.555693

Works as advertised. Its so simple Im surprised its not just built in to all RV power cords, especially the 50 amp beasts.

Use this adapter ever time we go camping, less strain on the main cord where it plugs into camper with the 90-degree end.1406975

There was much confusion in obtaining this item which ended up what I wanted. The description stated it was a 50 amp connector but the picture of the plug showed a 30 amp plug. I talked/texted 2 different people at your shop and one indicated it was 30 amp and the other said it was 50 amp. By that time it had been shipped and fortunately for me it was as advertised, a 50 amp connector.1357898

Just what I wanted. I wanted to relieve the stress on the connection.1208209

The 90 degree connector relives the cord pressure as I wanted. Only issue is the locking ring. It broke soon after purchase. Still functional, not worth the replacement cost.

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).1351816

After a year of use No problems 1564841

I like the concept, but the retaining ring that into the coach broke on the second outing (about a month from when we got it).

I cannot recommend this.1373148

I am sorry to hear that the retaining ring had broken on the power cord so quickly. The cord does have a one-year warranty and I have sent you the warranty return instructions in a separate email.

Really like this pigtail for my Solitude S- Class 3640GK . The one thing I did not like about the cord Grand Design sends with its units is that there is a lot of pressure on both the outlet and the plug as pictures will show . Only thing I would suggest is the the plug be all black1035662

I don’t know what your problem is with shipping these days but as the saying goes”it ain’t what it used to be.” I used to get my orders in 3-4 days from the day I ordered. Now I’m lucky to get it in 8-10 days.
I have a order in now that I paid over $7.00 extra to have it in 3-5
days . We’ll it’s been 10 days and I still don’t have it. I need a refund on my extra shipping.
I’m not complaining about the item, just the shipping.1298725

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

This adapter relieves the tension of a heavy 50 amp cord coming straight out of the connector on the RV, thereby prolonging the life of the cord end and female connector on the rv. Good quality.1256446

Functions as advertised. One problem experienced with the product is difficulty getting the threaded locking to the RV to properly thread. Wants to cross thread. Have a similar adapter that plugs directly into my EMS and it connects perfect every time. Therefore, the conclusion is the locking ring is faulty.1143183

If you receive a damaged or defective item, please let etrailer know as soon as possible so that we can fix the matter.

Have not had a chance to use product yet. Hard to hook power cord to camp because the bumper is kind of in the way. Hopefully the 90 degree power cord will make it easier. Product arrived a day earlier than expected.1351487

High quality! 1499298

Easy to find the part I needed on the web page. Ordering was easy. Delivered on the defined date. I’m very happy with this service and will use etrailer again. I’m also recommending this web site to my RV friends. Thanks trailer for your service.1274568

Product is just what I needed. It's at 90degrees which eliminates the pull on my cord. Now I can use this to go straight into the camper and hook the cord to this.1346635
