Video Transcript for Camco RV Wiring CAM55310 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at part number CAM55310. This is a Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer. The voltage analyzer is going to help protect your RV from improperly wired electrical boxes and power surges. Here at the top, it's got three diagnostic lights that are going to indicate faults before you connect your 30-amp electrical cord. It's also going to feature integrated surge protection that's going to provide extra security. It's got a weather-resistant design so it's going to be a really good protector when it comes to protecting the electrical components. That's got these ridges that run along the housing right there that so you can get your fingers on there, get a nice, secure grip. It's going to make plugging in and disconnecting from the receptacle very quick and easy. These lights are going to light up in different patterns, so whatever indicators are lit you're going to match that up with the code reader down here.
This is your chart. It's going to show you what the lights mean and how they're reading. The first one means that everything is correct. It says, "Correct Wiring". The next one says, "Open Ground", then it says, "Reverse Polarity".
This is "Open Hot", "Open Neutral", "Hot and Ground Reverse", "Hot on Neutral with Hot Open". It's got all these indicators here that are going to show you exactly what you're getting ready to plug your power cord into. Again, you can plug this into the 30-amp circuit or receptacle and then you can actually leave it connected once you find out that it's all good and ready to go and wired correctly; then you can plug in your 30-amp electrical cord directly into this and use it as a surge protection. The overall dimensions of the unit, it's not very big at all. It fits in the palm of your hand. It's going to give us an overall length of about 4-1/4" and overall width of about 2-1/4" and then an overall depth of about 3.5" including the brass contacts here. It can easily be stored inside the compartment and always keep close at hand, that way it's always ready to be used. That's going to do it for our review of part number CAM55310.
This is a Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer. .

Works as advertised, no problems.

This has worked out well for us. It was brought home to us how important this surge protector is at one of our camping trips last year. There was a power surge at the campground and quite a few people had things burn out. Not us!!
by: Harry r.03/17/2018
Everything I ordered came in one box and was all in good condition. The delivery time was great. I have used etrailer.com now for many things needed for my truck and travel trailer. They never disappoint. This service is awesome. They answer questions with there help line and give lots of documentation to help with setting up and using your purchase. Many of the brick and mortar stores need to learn how to serve the customers as well as etrailer does.
by: Bob S03/17/2020
I ended up giving it to my sister as I bought another unit - power management, not just surge suppressor. Not sure how to evaluate. Unless there is a spike and others around me fried and I did not, not sure how I know it works. Mostly an insurance policy.
by: Steven07/12/2019
All items arrived a day earlier than expected! The Camco Circuit Analyzer was less expensive than the dealer and replaced my original that did what it was designed for and saved my electrical system. The mirrors fit like OEM parts and the propane hoses are of better quality than OEM.
by: John 08/04/2022
The package you sent was buried under a lot of other packages and had been opened or crushed or maybe both. But, both things I ordered were in good shape and the convererter has been installed.
This was probably my fault when I first ordered because I assumed you would be shipping UPS or Fed Ex and through theUSPS. I intercepted it at the post office before it was shipped back to you. We get no mail delivery at our house.
by: William03/28/2022
This gives me peace of mind when I hook up to a campsite. And to be safe with a power surge.

Defender doing great. Service from etrailer has also been great over the years.
by: Debbie S.08/12/2015
These mirrors are well made, fit like a glove, look great, and installed in minutes. It took longer to view the videos than to install the mirrors on the truck! We're very pleased with this purchase and the quick delivery from etrailer.
by: Gary C11/09/2019
Works as advertised. Helps to ensure proper electrical hook up.
by: Stanley 04/23/2020
Simple to use before connecting to an outlet and knowing that you have a good electrical supply

Surge protection and wiring check is cheap insurance against electrical damage.

Recently had an opportunity to use the Defender and fortunately it appeared to work as advertised and I had no issues.

Excellent, Don't waste your money on others. Gone thru many outages.

Exactly what I needed. Fast shipping combined with excellent communication. The folks at etrailer have never disappointed me. This is our 4th RV and we always seem to need something.

I've had this item for well over a year. The hardest test I put it through was nearly 10 degrees F. It performed flawlessly. I'm glad we bought it.

See what our Experts say about this Camco RV Surge Protectors
- Will the Camco RV Voltage Analyzer Part # CAM55310 Protect from RV Hot-Skin ConditionRV hot-skin is a condition that causes the body of trailer to hold an electrical charge due to a fault in the ground on the shore line power outlet. The faulty ground at the shore line outlet will be detected by the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer part # CAM55310 making it a very safe investment.
view full answer... - Will Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer Shut Off with Over 30 Amps The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 referenced in your question features a 30-amp rating but it will not shut off automatically if the amperage rises. If you are over 30 amps, the breaker on the panel you are plugged into should trip or shut off at that point. The surge protector will protect against things like lightning strikes or sudden voltage spikes. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Can the Camco 30 Amp Voltage Analyzer Surge Protector work on my GeneratorAbsolutely! I think it is a great idea to use this type of protection on any non inverter type of generator. These types are notorious for power surges and the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55310 will go a long way in protecting your electronics. I've included our video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Camco RV Power Defender part # CAM55310 The Camco RV Power Defender part # CAM55310 is 2-1/4 inches wide, 2-1/2 inches deep, and 4-1/4 inches tall.
view full answer... - Is the Camco RV Power Defender More Than a Surge Protector?The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 will offer 1,050 joules of surge protection. It has a dual function of not only a surge protector but also a tool to determine if the power supply is correctly wired to protect your RV electronics before you even make the connection to your RV power or check for damage before reconnecting following a power surge. I've attached a video to assist.
view full answer... - Is the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer Weatherproof The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 referenced in your question does indeed feature a weather-resistant housing that will protect it from the elements. This voltage analyzer will plug into a 30-amp receptacle at an RV park to test for improper wiring. The diagnostic lights on the unit will indicate any faults before you actually connect your electrical cord, protecting your RV. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Does Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 Have Internal BreakerThe Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 that you referenced has an internal breaker that will automatically reset. You wouldn't need to reset it manually.
view full answer... - Humming Noise Coming from Camco RV Power DefenderI checked with my contact over at Camco who confirmed that the humming sound coming from your Camco RV Power Defender # CAM55310 is nothing to worry about- this is completely normal with products like this and mean they're functioning correctly. They mentioned that it will sometimes be louder than others and will even change from a softer hum to a louder one, so that's something to be aware of going forward as well.
view full answer... - Why Would Trailer Marker Lights Come on When Trailer is Plugged into Shore PowerYou have a short somewhere. It's possible your RV has the "hot-skin condition". RV hot-skin is a condition that causes the body of trailer to hold an electrical charge due to a fault in the ground on the shore line power outlet. Since trailer lighting grounds through the frame of the trailer this will short out trailer wiring potentially and is most likely while your taillights are still on. The faulty ground at the shore line outlet will be detected by the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage...
view full answer... - Warranty on the Camco RV Power DefenderThere is a 1 year, limited manufacturer's warranty on the CamCo RV Power Defender, part # CAM55310.
view full answer... - Does the Camco RV Power Defender Reveal If Surge Occurred?The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 will offer 1,050 joules of surge protection. It will not give any indication if a surge has occurred but rather will trip the breaker in the panel upline from the unit. If that breaker is reset, power will still come through the Defender and you'll get the lighting codes for any issues that could have resulted from the surge.
view full answer... - Do I Need To Replace A surge Protector After It Is TrippedYour Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer # CAM55310 should be fine if you've only activated the surge protection once. Your unit is rated for 1,050 joules, and if you've had a 200 joule hit, in theory, you still have approximately 850 joules left, which is still really good. Typically, you'll want to replace your surge protector every 2-5 years, but if you've had a frequent amount of hits you'll want to consider replacing sooner.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Older Model of Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer After Power OutageYour older model of the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 definitely appears to have been damaged by your recent power outage/surge. I did confirm with Camco that a yellow light just on the rand hand side is not an error code so this points to some kind of damage within the part itself. I do recommend replacing your unit with the current model. This does have integrated surge protection to provide extra security and a weather-resistant construction to protect the electrical...
view full answer... - Will The Camco Power Defender Voltage Analyzer Allow An Electrical Panel Door to Close?The Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 will add about 2-1/2 inches of additional depth to your cord connection. Most of the panel doors will not close when you have a cord installed and this will obviously add more to that. It will in most cases still allow the panel door to shield the connections from rain.
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... - Difference in Circuit Protection Between Camco 55310 and 55312 Power DefendersThe Power Defender, part # CAM55310, is referred to as a voltage analyzer where part # CAM55312 is called a circuit analyzer but essentially it's the same protection. The difference is that # CAM55310 protects up to 1,050 joules while # CAM55312 protects up to 2,100 joules.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Camco 50A Power Defender Not Allowing Power to Go ThroughI reached out to my contact at Camco who said that if you didn't give the Camco RV Power Defender # CAM55306 2 minutes to run through diagnostics after plugging it into the power source then that would cause the lights to act like what you described. If you plug it in and let it sit for at least 2 minutes it should then either give you one of the different light indicators and/or will work properly. If this doesn't solve your problem let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.
view full answer... - Availability of Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer for 30 Amp RV Service and 50 Amp PlugThere isn't a version of the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer # CAM55310 that would allow you to connect your RV's 50 Amp power plug directly into a 30-amp receptacle at an RV park. You'll need to use a power cord adapter like # CAM55185, as you mentioned.
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... - 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... - Comparing Camco RV Circuit Analyzer and Voltage Protector for 30 Amp Service In simplest terms, the Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55310 acts as a fuse and the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector part # CAM55301 acts as an auto-resetting circuit breaker. Therefore, if the fuse blows it will need to be replaced but if the circuit breaker trips it will go back to functioning as normal once the fault is corrected.
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... - Joules of Surge Protection for the Camco Voltage DefenderI spoke to my contact at Camco and he informed me that the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Analyzer # CAM55310 that you referenced offers 1,050 joules of surge protection but it's primary function is to determine if a power outlet/pedestal is wired correctly. For more voltage protection you may be more interested in the # CAM55301 that offers 2,450 joules of protection or the part # CAM55306 that provides 3,850 joules of protection. Review videos for all three products are attached.

If you can get me some measurements of the fender skirts on your 2015 Minnie Winnie 2201DS I can see if we have a match from our linked selection. Unfortunately we don't have all of the specs for everything (most things really) for trailers so there is some ground work that will need to be done on your end still. For example, the Phoenix USA Flexy Flares # PX52-170 are a universal fit and measure 58" x 2-1/4". If this matches what you have then this...
