Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, I got a problem. I got a trip I'm preparing for, but I don't really have the best power hookup to be able to power my whole rig and get it ready for the trip. What I'm going to be using today is a Valterra electrical adapter. Pretty much, I'm going to have a female end on this side, and that is going to be supplied about 30 amps worth of power. Then I'm going to have a male side on the other end, which is going to give me about 15 amps of power.
Plenty for what I really need.I just want to put a fan in there, get everything kind of cleaned up, maybe slide out the slides, turn on the AC possibly, and maybe just get that refrigerator going. I'm not going to be able to do all of that at once with the adapter here, but we're going to do our best to get as much as we can prepared with the electrical hookups that we have.A lot of the times you get in a bind, depending on if you go to a random campsite, and you're starting to pack up, or you just get there. You realize they don't really have all the connections you need. Whether they're not working, or they're just not there. This way, it's going to help us convert it.
We have a lot of different converters here at etrailer.What I'm using today as a generator, this is going to be powering my whole rig, while I get ready for the trip. Pretty much my issue here was I have a plug like this. I'm not going to be able to use any of the ports on my generator. I'm not really wanting to go buy another generator. So I'm just going to go get a little converter like this, put it in.
It's made of PVC plastic, so it fits in there really nicely. It does have brass fittings. So I'm going to go ahead, plug that in. Now I can go ahead and start the generator and get to work.First thing to check and see if we have power is the lights, and we got it, so we have that. Next thing, we're just going to go ahead and take the slides out, should be enough for that.
We'll go ahead and slide it out. Check that out, moving just as fast as it usually would just on 15 amps. That's awesome. See if the other one does it. It's amazing what a little, simple plug can do in a really, really tough situation. I've been in plenty and having the right amount of converters and stuff like that comes in handy. Trust me. Just like that, we are good. Sweet.So now I'm going to go ahead and get my refrigerator just starting to cool down a little bit. So then maybe by tomorrow I can start packing it full of stuff, so it's going to be nice and cool whenever we go down the road. I would definitely recommend you guys just loading up those storage compartments with a lot of these different converters. There's a lot of different applications for them. Trust me when you're on the road, sometimes you get in a pinch, and we really don't want you to be in a pinch. So that's why we have all sorts of different converters here at etrailer.So go on our website, figure out which ones you want. If there's a couple that you think you might need, I say might as well grab them. It's a small, little purchase that will make a massive difference whenever you're on the road. Letting you enjoy more of your time, so you don't have to figure out all this stuff. Other than that, that's pretty much it for our look at the Valterra electrical adapter.
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (26 Customer Reviews)
The product is good. If I was only rating the product, it would be 5 stars. The wait time for the order was very disappointing. I placed the order on July 10. I wasn’t told anything about low stock or long wait for delivery. It was supposed to be 7-10 days. Then on August 9th I received an e-mail telling me that the order couldn’t be filled because they didn’t have them but that they should be in by August 23rd. I heard nothing more by August 27th. I reached out and was just told to wait. Then on September 9th the product came. The biggest problem to this is that the camping season ends September 6th. I understand the challenges with having products available but I don’t understand the lack of information up front about not having the product on hand.
I can't comment on the quality of the 30 amp female to 15 amp male adapters as I haven't used them yet. Their price is substantially less than any other source I found and, since they were consolidated with an order for a base plate, there was no additional shipping charge.
I have not received the Blue Ox base Plate Kit, so can't comment on it.
I can comment on the excellent response and courtesy extended to me by my contacts with etrailer personnel. They were outstanding.
It works well. It fits rather tightly to the trailer power cord, and I have to use a screwdriver to pry it off. A tight fit is good; probably makes for good electrical contact. I just wish the adapter was a little longer and more "grippy" so I could pull it off by hand.
The plug arrived quickly. I'm using it to plug the trailer in to keep the battery charged. Seems easier than having to disconnect the battery every winter.
The adapter has very strong prongs and slides over the 30 amp plug easily. I bought it as a replacement for the one I currently own which is very hard to put on the plug.
Fit was perfect and it worked well. A great replacement part for my Keystone Hornet.
Can't Believe it. This connector are high quality and a great price. Fit my trailed outlet
perfect. love the part and price. Keep up the great service. Well done
I picked the Valterra Electrical Adapter - 30 Amp to 15 Amp a year ago, so far it handles the load. Well made, Good price.
Great Product and application.
It is just as described! Have not used it yet so I cannot rate it but doubt that there will be any problems as its just a plug.
Works great. Tried to buy at local Home Depot and was told that they no longer sell adapters so had to order on line. Fair price. Totally satisfied.
It is compact compared to other males of adapters and has worked great.
Much easier to use than the larger adap ter.
Super fast shipping. Great product and Excellent product.
Excellent exactly what I needed this product arrived fast and inexpensive.. thanks so much
