Question:

Hi, Im looking for a 50 amp power inlet. All of the ones I see on your site appear to be the standard 3-prong rotary plugs. Is there not a 4-prong with the straight vertical blades like the campground pedestal side has? If only 3 prongs, how are there 2x 50a legs of 120v? Thanks!

Great question!

There is actually another metal pin inside the rotating socket like what we see with the 50 Amp Hughes Autoformers Safe View Smart Power Inlet # HU27VR. This means you can use a power cord like the Camco # CAM55542 to connect to the pedestal and then the twist lock inlet.
