When you're at an RV park with limited power options, the Camco Power Grip RV Power Maximizer comes in handy, allowing you to connect your RV's 50-amp system to both 15-amp and 30-amp outlets simultaneously. This means you can draw a powerful 45 amps in total from two different sources, perfect for running multiple appliances like air conditioners and microwaves without tripping breakers.
Plugging and unplugging RV cords can be a hassle, but the built-in handles on the Power Grip's connectors make it effortless. This thoughtful design feature ensures smooth handling, even in low light conditions, eliminating the usual wrestling match with stubborn cords.
The bright yellow connectors are not just for style; they’re for your safety. In dim lighting or crowded power grids, these eye-catching yellow ends ensure that you won’t accidentally disconnect or mishandle the wrong cord, offering peace of mind during every connection.
If you’re planning to camp in older parks where 50 amp services might be scarce, this maximizer is your secret weapon. It provides the unique ability to utilize existing 30 amp and auxiliary 15 amp outlets, delivering the much-needed power to run essential appliances simultaneously, as if you're connected directly to a 50 amp source.
Built to withstand the rigors of frequent use, this robust adapter is a must-have for any RV enthusiast. Its heavy-duty materials ensure a long lifespan, letting you enjoy the flexibility to connect in parks with different outlet configurations, all without sacrificing performance.
Whether you face a shortage of 50 amp services at a campsite or need an alternative power source in an emergency, the Camco Power Grip ensures you’re never left in the dark. By offering both 15 amp and 30 amp connections, it's ready to adapt to whatever power scenario you encounter, getting the most out of limited resources.

Today were going to review part #: CAM55025. This is the Camco Powergrip RV power maximizer. What this maximizer will allow you to do is when you pull into an RV park and you might have an option of a 15 amp or a 30 amp electrical outlet and your RV has a 50 amp power cord what you can end up doing, you can plug this female end right here and thats to your RVs 50 amp power plug and then with these two ends that are divided off here you could actually, instead of getting one or the other, if you plug both these in you can get a 45 amps of combined power. This male end right here is 15 amps. This one right here, this 30 amp male end will plug into a 30 amp receptacle. If you plug both of these in at the RV park you can get a combined 45 amps going to your RV instead of having to just choose between one or the other.
As you can see on this end and on this one right here there are built in handles. What thatll allow you to do on these connectors is when you plug these in some times, when you go to unplug them theyre a little hard to pull out. With these handles right here, this Powergrip handle will allow you to pull these connections out a lot easier. As youll notice, all the connectors on here, the female and the two male ends, are yellow in color, very bright yellow. Thatll make it easy to see if youre in any low light conditions when you pull into the RV park.
That should do it for the review on part #: CAM55025, the Camco Powergrip RV power maximizer. .
Returning. It doesn't work to plug into to your house to give power to the RV when it's parked. What's the point of the options on one cord if it doesn't work. And yes, I used non gfci outlets on my house. Yet my super cheap crap adapters will work. Makes sense. What a nice cord too, but doesn't work.
Must be shorted internally. Tried it multiple times. Gave up. Ordered a straight 30 amp. Problem solved.
Heavy Duty for sure. 50 to 30 amp adapter. Thick gage wire. You would have to just not care about reducing amp load in an rv to burn this up.
This trailer plug is what everyone needs if you have 50 amp camper plug and if you go to a camping site that has 30 amp service with this plug you can get 45 amps of service. so I can run both my AC units at the same time. Very well made. Heavy Duty. Thank you E-Trailer!!!
This is a great alternative to the 30 to 50 amp dogbone that I already own. For those times when I need (or want) to run the AC, microwave, water heater and fridge at the same time and only have a 30 amp connection available this will come in handy. I've run a separate 15 amp extension cord a couple of times to set up an outside kitchen and I don't think I've ever found a 30 amp plug without the 15 amp sockets right there too. As long as they're not GFCI this cable will give me 45 amps in the trailer when there's no 50 amp connection. Or - like last year on New Years Eve when the 50 amp circuit only had one side working - and you're forced to use the 30 amp socket or nothing at all.
Never worked correctly like advertised always tripped breakers where ever it was hooked up. Also have a surge protector on the camper and these two products are not compatible with each other. Waste of money

Are the outlets the adapter used with the GCFI type? As stated in the product description, this adapter isnt compatible with GFCI outlets.
So far has been helpful and works as started. Fast shipping. Thank you
I purchased this adaptor for the rare times I can only get 30 amp service. It arrived today with fast shipping and great communication from etrailer.com. I highly recommend this company. The product appears to work exactly as described.

I have found that the majority of campgrounds have GFCI circuits for their 20 amp service. This device will not work with a GFCI plug so actually it can’t be used very often. That does not negate that it appears to be well made and will work under the right conditions.

I bought this Camco Power Grip a year ago and have used it daily for eight of the last 12 months. I have a 50 amp RV and am plugged into a 30 amp service and would often kick the breaker with routine use. I was limited on the use of electrical appliances. Since purchasing the Power Grip I have much better use of my electrical system. I can even run both AC units at the same time which I have done occasionally. I highly recommend this product.
Comes in handy when no 50 amp plug.
We've only needed to use it once, but boy, did it come in handy. Works as advertised.
etrailer shipped it quickly, and it arrived on time and in good condition. Excellent service.

Still zero issues after more than a year of usage. Good to have in those emergency situations where theres no 50A circuit.
Good quality quick delivery pleasure doing business again
I haven’t used my power grip yet but I bought it because my uncle has one. It works great we were camping and the campsite only had 30amp hookup. My RV has a 50amp plug and I used a 30amp adapter but the power kept shutting off. My uncle used his power grip adapter and he didn’t have any problems. That’s why I purchased my own. Everyone should have one who does RV camping. Thanks
Very helpful when only a 30 amp and a15 amp service, able to run both air conditioners.
Great product.
An excellent product, and etrailer is exceptional in ease of ordering and delivering the product most expediently. I agree that in campgrounds with a GFCI 15 amp plug, it can become problematic, and I have had the experience of some Camp Rangers not allowing this type plug. (Most Camp Rangers do not understand nor can tell this maximizer is in place with the lid closed) It is a GREAT! product, and it has served me well, as well as the shopping experience to obtain this maximizer.
Looks heavy duty !!

Looks like newholding up well !!!
Perfect for those "older" campgrounds that only have 30 amp service. A friend of mine got one and I had to have it. Works great so I can use both air conditioners when I need to.
Works great can run both air conditione rs
Always fast service
Well made unique heavy duty RV Shore power adapter to allow 45 amps from 2 sources to feed 50amp plug. Shipping was fast.
well made, fast shipping,reasonable price.
My first 50 amp trailer,enables me to charge battery with 110 15 amp in front of house also run refer. before leaving on a trip.
Great product! Most campgrounds around here only have a limited number of 50 amp hook-ups and the rest are 30 amp.
This allows to get the most out of the 30 amp service by combining the 30 and 15-20 amps that are available and giving us 45 amps.
BTW, these folks rock at fast shipping and delivery!!!
etrailer provides an amazing web site, competitive prices and sudden service. They know their products and don't appear to sell junk. I will continue to look for my RV needs on etrailer first.
etrailer matched the lowest price I could find and they refunded me the difference. I will shop her again. Customer service was on point.
Easy to find products. Cost effective compared to others. Expeditious delivery. Extra mile follow up with delivery notifications. Would definitely go here first for trailer/RV items and highly recommend.

Even better now that I carry a 15 amp socket. I can change out the GFCI outlet if thats all thats available and change it back before I leave, of course . Thanks John G. For the hint...
