Video Transcript for Camco RV Wiring - Power Adapter - CAM55313 Review
Today we're going to take a look at the Camco 50 amp RV power defender circuit analyzer. This circuit analyzer will plug into your 50 amp receptacle at an RV park to test for improper wiring. This is a 125 volt circuit analyzer which will help protect your RV from improperly wired electrical boxes and power surges. Right up at the top here there's four diagnostic lights which will indicate faults before you even connect your 50 amp electrical cord so that you can avoid damage to your RV. Right down here on the bottom is a chart that'll show you, when lights are showing, what the problem might be. If you notice on each end here, they have built in power grip handles. Makes unplugging very easy.
Right up here, this is what'll plug in. This is the 50 amp male end. This will plug into your 50 amp receptacle. Right down here is the 50 amp female end. This is what'll connect to you RV's 50 amp electrical cord. If you notice both ends, the plugs are yellow.
It makes it easy to see in any low light conditions. The box here is a weather resistant PVC and polycarbonate which will protect any electrical components. Overall length on this item, from end to end, is 27 and a half inches and the wire gage used in this is three six-gage and one ten-gage wire. That should do it for the review on the Camco 50 amp RV power defender circuit analyzer.

A must have on your RV. This one is heavy duty and great quality. Great, fast delivery from e trailer.
by: Steve05/28/2022
Just received. Huge compared to tiny 30 amp unit. Trailer is 30 amp but a few places we are visiting this year are 50 amp pedestals. Cheap insurance to prevent frying trailer electrical systems.
by: John 05/18/2021
This product proved it’s worth this spring. At a large RV Resort we were experiencing problems with our inside electrical outlets and water heater (on electricity setting) - I checked the Camcorder Power Defender and it showed that they electrical box had issues. Maintainance came and fixed box - we were good to go. The unit protected and informed. Definitely provides a sense of security.
by: Linda09/22/2021
This is a must have to ensure no damage to your RV’s electrical system. Campgrounds can be unpredictable and this dogbone attachment is a layer of safety that should be a top priority for all campers. It works perfect as designed and I highly recommend this circuit analyzer.
by: Dan02/24/2022
I upgraded my trailer, so I stuck with my Camco dog bone. It’s been great!
by: Peter07/28/2019
Product arrived on time and used it the next day. So far performing just fine. Etrailer staff very helpful.

Great product, smooth transaction, fast shipping, and best of all - not [online]!

I had done a previous order with e-trailer which was excellent service and mailing and receiving the 5th wheel tailgate was right on time . I dealt with pat c. this time and she was very helpful. I purchased a CAMCO surge protector..55313..for the 5th wheel .I haven't used it yet but will be very soon. again, the service rep did a wonderful job helping me to decide..the item arrived as stated..i will purchase items in the future from e-trailer...great service and quality items
by: James P09/24/2018
Feel much better with this being utilized. The day this was delivered and I was plugging it in I noticed one of the electrical legs was fried and didn’t know it. Sure don’t want any issues with our new fifth wheel
by: Walter01/09/2019
Just bought a new RV that uses 50 amp power. Too early to tell operational issues, but the build quality is rugid. Before this we bought a 30 amp surge protector from Etrailer by Camco and used it for 3 years with no problems. Even went through a few thunderstorms and power outages with no damage. We feel confident that this 50 amp surge protector will perform similarly.
by: Jari D06/18/2016
The step rugs, tire pressure gauge & surge protector were received promptly & are exactly as pictured and described. I am very satisfied & will not hesitate to to use etrailer again!
by: Thomas N08/20/2021
Just installed. Looks good. Thankfully haven't experienced an electrical event that would test the efficacy.
by: Bfj04/06/2020
The product was shipped in a timely manner and in a sturdy box for a good price. It is hard to tell if a surge protector is working , but after a year we have had no electrical issues with our trailer since using. So i would have to say I am pleased with the product and etrailer.
by: Karl09/24/2020
It's big, but works and gives me piece of mind.

Working good wish I was using it more. Busy for camping.
Karl - 09/24/2021by: Dennis06/20/2019
Tested this and everything is good to go. Thank you etrailer for the fast service.

Great

The easy set up to protect my unit from unknown electrical issues before and after hookup, I secure with cable locks to deter theft.
by: Dave M05/07/2017
Great product for great price. Have no used yet but sure it will provide the protection I need.
Comments
Use all the time and its working great. Well worth the price.
Dave M - 05/07/2018by: William11/08/2017
I’ve now placed my 3rd order with etrailer; each order has been promptly filled and has arrived sooner than my expectations! etrailer has now become my “go to” company for my RV needs.
Additionally, their prices are some of the most competitive around.
by: March10/21/2018
Very prompt delivery. Product was in the original display package. I have not had a chance to try it out yet, but I have had excellent cooperation from etrailer on my past purchases.
by: Roger G08/03/2020
Does the job just fine!
Comments
Still works great. Used it in several different locations and had only one electrical problem that it sensed. Did it’s job!
Roger G - 08/04/2021by: Brian 08/10/2018
This is a great company to do business with. The product is just what I needed and very good quality. I purchased it and then found it cheaper at another store. Etrailer matched the price and then some ....I will buy all my stuff from these guys. Thank you so much.
by: Al02/23/2018
Great price and fast shipping. Have not had a chance to use it yet but will follow up with a review once I have.
Comments
I use this every time I connect my 5th wheel to power, gives me a peach of mind that my trailer is protected from a potinail power surge.
Al - 02/23/2019by: Robert 11/23/2021
thanks . you guys are great
by: Alan10/04/2017
It is larger than expected, but not a problem stowing for travel. With the investment in this product, I plan on securing it once it is plugged in . I do feel more at ease knowing we are protected from power surges. All it takes is one storm and a lightening hit near by to really hurt the electronics in the camper. That gets expensive.
by: John 12/06/2019
Just like described, now I can plug in my 50 amp trailer and check circuit's, and make sure power is sufficient.

See what our Experts say about this Camco RV Plug Adapters
- Can Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone Be Used with Connector AdaptersYes, the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313 that you referenced can work with various socket adapters like what you mentioned.
view full answer... - Does Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer CAM55313 Have a Fuse/Breaker That Needs to Be ResetThe idea behind the # CAM55313 RV Power Defender is that you'd plug it into the power source and let it analyze the incoming power to ensure it's safe before plugging your RV into it. The unit doesn't use a breaker or a fuse, it's actually a bit more sophisticated than that. The internal circuit board will shut down the flow of power if it senses a spike or other dangerous condition, and won't allow the power to flow again until the problem is corrected or the voltage drops down to a...
view full answer... - How Will the Camco RV Power Defender Hold Up Under Lots of RainThe Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313 is weather resistant, however it is not waterproof (meaning that it can be submerged and still function). When I reached out to my contact at Camco he said that no matter what product is used, he always recommends covering the connections with a plastic bag and trying the opening off just as a precautionary measure. Be sure to cut a small hole in the bag to allow a little bit of airflow to the unit.
view full answer... - Can the Camco RV Power Defender Be Used on a 220v Plug with 50ampsI checked with my tech contact over at Camco and they assured me that there wouldn't be an issue when using the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone - 125V - 50 Amp # CAM55313 on a 220v breaker as long as it is designed for 50amp service. This unit will operate normally in this scenario.
view full answer... - Joules Rating of Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313I spoke with my contact at Camco and the Joules rating for the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313 that you referenced is 4,200.
view full answer... - When Does the Camco Circuit Analyzer Dogbone Part # CAM55313 Reset After a SpikeYes, the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone part # CAM55313 will act just like a normal surge protector. The analyzers senses incoming current when plugged into an outlet and will detect malfunctions such as open circuits, high voltage etc. The internal circuit board will shut down the flow of power if it senses a spike or other dangerous condition, and won't allow the power to flow again until the problem is corrected or the voltage drops down to a safe level. There is not...
view full answer... - Recommended Power Defender Circuit Analyzer and Voltage Monitor OptionsThe Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone - 125V - 50 Amp # CAM55313 is the correct circuit and power surge protector for a 50 amp system. This is a one time protector that could save an appliance or your entire system. The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Monitor - 50 Amp # CAM55306 has multilevel surge protection and visually alerts user to faults. It has a reconnect delay to protect your bigger systems like AC units. It will automatically disconnect when dangerous voltage...
view full answer... - Availability of 50-Amp RV DogboneWe offer Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313 which is for 125-volt/50-amp applications. It measures 27-1/2-inches. The unit's diagnostic lights indicate faults before you connect your 50-amp electrical cord to help protect your RV from improperly wired electrical boxes and power surges. Built-in handles on both ends make unplugging easy.
view full answer... - 30 Amp Circuit Analyzer Recommendation for RV Camp Site TestingI spoke to my contact at Camco and while I have a solution for you, the part # CAM55313 that you referenced would not work for you since it is designed for 50 amp service. Instead you would need the part # CAM55312 as it is designed for 30 amps.
view full answer... - Does Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer CAM55313 Protect Against Low VoltageThe Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer # CAM55313 does not protect against low voltage. But there is a similar product that does both low voltage and surge protection. It is the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Monitor # CAM55306. It disconnects power in a dangerous voltage situation and will reconnect when voltage gets to the 102 to 132 volt safe range.
view full answer... - Does Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone CAM55313 Correct Miswired OutletsThe Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone # CAM55313 will tell you if the power outlet at an RV park is wired properly to prevent damage to the connected RV's electrics, but it does not correct for any mis-wired outlets. It is a warning device only. My contact at Camco confirmed that when three of the four LED indicator lights are lit yellow on the main body of the unit the outlet is wired correctly. They also offer a similar unit, their Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310....
view full answer... - Does Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer 30 Amp Item # CAM55312 Reset ManuallyThe internal circuit board of the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone - 125V - 30 Amp Item # CAM55312 will shut down the flow of power if it senses a spike or other dangerous condition, and won't allow the power to flow again until the problem is corrected or the voltage drops down to a safe level. There is no way to manually reset it.
view full answer... - Do 30-Amp and 50-Amp Surge Protectors Use Different Connectors50-amp service and 30-amp service use different connectors. The 50-amp surge protector # CAM55313 uses 4-prong connectors while the 30-amp surge protector # CAM55301 uses 3-prong connectors. So you will need to have one for each type of campground power outlets.
view full answer... - Does Yamaha Generator Need Grounding Rod when Used with 50 Amp Travel TrailerYou do not need to drive a grounding rod into the ground at your campsites when using your Yamaha generator (or any standard generator) to power your 50 amp RV. Surge protector is probably still a good idea although your Yamaha generator is pretty advanced and most likely would not need one under most circumstances. For a 50 amp circuit defender we have the part # CAM55313 which will work great.
view full answer... - Comparing the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer and Voltage ProtectorThe Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55313 and Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector part # CAM55306 are similar in that they both work to protect the trailer from power surges and have diagnostic lights to help with troubleshooting. However, the Voltage Protector goes a bit beyond this as the voltage detection system is much more sophisticated sensing both high and low voltages in addition to surges. The Circuit Analyzer can only detects power surges, not high and...
view full answer... - Differences Between the Two Camco RV Power Defender UnitsThe difference between the Camco RV Power Defender 30 amp, part # CAM55312 and the Camco RV Power Defender 50 amp, part # CAM55313 is the amperage that they work on. The 50 amp variant is built for higher power drawing RVs, while the 30 amp is designed for lower power RV's. You'll want to match your particular plugs and required amperage to your RV when choosing which product to buy.
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between a Power Analyzer and a Surge Protector 50 Amp AdapterAn analyzer such as # CAM55313 has diagnostic lights to indicate faults so that you can avoid damage to your RV. This model also offers surge protection. A model that offers only surge protection would not have any diagnostics. But some have both. There is also the Power Defender # CAM55306 that takes surge protection a step further by having the ability to detect too much AND too little power and disconnect and reconnected as needed.
view full answer... - Differences Between Camco Circuit Analyzers and Power DefendersYou are correct. The 30 Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector # CAM55301 is like a circuit breaker and automatically resets if there's a surge whereas the 50 amp Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55313 is like a fuse and it only can handle one surge. For a 50 amp breaker style you'd need the part # CAM55306.

For a 50 amp breaker style you'd need the part # CAM55306.
view full answer... - Recommended RV Power Monitor/Defender for 50-Amp ServiceNo, instead you will want to use the 50-amp version of the Camco Power Defender, which is their part # CAM55313. This provides the same circuit analyzer and voltage monitoring functions along with surge suppression but in the 50-amp capacity you need. A similar but better option is their RV Power Defender Voltage Monitor # CAM55306 which provides those functions but adds the ability to automatically disconnect when dangerous incoming voltage levels are detected. It will automatically...
view full answer... - 50-Amp Rated RV Power Protection Device to Guard Against Bad Wiring and Voltage IrregularitiesYes, Camco offers two items similar to the 30-amp RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 that are suitable for your RV's 50-amp electrical service. Part # CAM55313 is a 50-amp Power Defender Circuit Analyzer that provides both diagnostic and surge protection functions. Camco also offer the 50-amp RV Power Defender Voltage Monitor # CAM55306 which adds the additional capability of automatically disconnection when dangerous voltage levels are detected, anything below 102V or above...
view full answer... - Comparison of Camco Circuit Analyzers and Voltage ProtectorsCamco Power Defender voltage protectors, parts # CAM55301 and # CAM55306, have a bit more protection than the circuit analyzers, parts # CAM55310, # CAM55312, and # CAM55313. Both the analyzers and protectors have diagnostic lights for faults but beyond that the analyzers are just surge protectors. The voltage protectors go a little further by detecting the voltage and shutting off if the voltage level falls below 102V or goes over 132V. The voltage protectors also reset themselves...
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter and Surge Protector for 50 Amp System to 30 Amp Shore PowerWith your 50 amp camper system, I recommend using the Power Grip RV Power Maximizer - 50 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male and 30 Amp Male # CAM55025 to allow you to plug into 30 amp power supplies. Then you will use a surge protector like # CAM55306 for multiple surge protection or # CAM55313 for single time surge protection. Many people use the Camco Power Grip Cable with Lock # CAM44290 to protect their investment. Unless you convert your entire system to 30 amp, I don't recommend using a...
view full answer... - Recommended RV Power Cord For Converting 50 Amp to 30 Amp for RV PowerAn 8 gauge cable would help the handles from getting so hot, but unfortunately we don't carry anything like that. The 10 gauge wire is sufficient to work properly without overheating. The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter - 50 Amp Twist Lock Female to 30 Amp Male - 25' # A10-3050EHD is most likely your best option for conversion. You may want to consider using a surge protector like # CAM55313 to protect your wiring when using a straight 50 amp male or the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage...
