When the plug end gets scorched or the prongs go loose, you rewire this onto the good copper you already have. TT-30P pattern, rated 125 volts and 3750 watts, with a molded Power Grip handle that makes plugging in at a rocking dock a whole lot easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Camco Power Grip 55242, a replacement male plug for your 30 amp shore power cord. Here's the thing about cordsets: the copper in the middle almost always outlives the plug ends. The business end takes all the abuse. It gets yanked, dropped, stepped on, and slowly cooked by the heat of a loose connection. When that plug end finally cracks, melts, or the prongs won't hold a grip in the pedestal anymore, you don't have to throw away a perfectly good cord. You cut off the bad end and wire this one on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug uses the NEMA TT-30P pattern, which is the standard 30 amp configuration you'll find on RV shore cords and most dockside power pedestals. It's the male end, so it's the half that plugs into the pedestal or into a 30 amp adapter. It's rated for 125 volts and 3750 watts, which is the full load a 30 amp circuit is built to carry. So you're not giving up any capacity by rewiring, you're just restoring the cord you already trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Power Grip line apart is right there in the name. The molded handle wraps the body of the plug and gives you something solid to hold onto. Anyone who's tried to pull a stiff, cold plug out of a tight pedestal knows the problem. You end up hauling on the cord itself, which is exactly what wears out the connection in the first place. The handle lets you push and pull on the plug body instead. On a boat that's rocking against the dock, or an RV site where the pedestal is mounted at an awkward height, that grip earns its keep every single time you hook up or break down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody with a 30 amp shore cord that's still got good wire but a tired plug. Look for the warning signs before it strands you: discolored or melted prongs, a plug that feels warm to the touch after an hour of use, cracks in the housing, or a loose fit that makes the connection flicker. Any one of those means it's time. Catching it early beats losing power to the fridge at 2 AM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe install is straightforward if you're comfortable with basic DC and AC wiring, and it's a job most boaters and RV owners can handle at the dock. You'll want 10 gauge copper wire to match a 30 amp load, and the leads land on the hot, neutral, and ground terminals inside the plug. Take your time and get the polarity right. Reversing the hot and neutral is the most common mistake, and it'll trip the ground fault protection at the pedestal the moment you plug in. A dab of dielectric grease on the terminals before you button it up keeps corrosion out of the connection, which matters a lot in the salt air. Snug those set screws down firmly, and give them a re-check after your first season since vibration can back them off over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is yellow polyvinyl, so it stays flexible in the cold and it's easy to spot on a dark dock or a crowded pedestal. It's cETLus listed, so the electrical safety has been verified by an independent lab. And it ships in bulk packaging, which is handy if you're repairing more than one cord or keeping a spare in the dock box for the fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to be clear on: this is the plug end only. It isn't a complete cordset, and it isn't a 50 amp plug. If you're running 50 amp service or you need a whole new cord, this isn't the part. But if you've got a solid 30 amp cord with a bad end, the 55242 is the fix, and it'll cost you a fraction of a new cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 amp rating with NEMA TT-30P configuration matches standard RV and dock shore power pedestals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale plug end rewires onto your existing 30 amp cord, so you replace the damaged end instead of the whole cordset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 125 volts and 3750 watts to carry a full 30 amp shore power load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated Power Grip handle gives you a solid grip for plugging and unplugging at a pitching dock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYellow polyvinyl housing stays flexible in the cold and is easy to spot on a dark dock or pedestal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ecETLus listed, so the electrical safety is verified by an independent lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Camco Power Grip power cords and cordsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips in bulk packaging, handy for fleet repairs or keeping a spare in the dock box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is a TT-30P plug?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTT-30P is the NEMA designation for the standard 30 amp male plug used on RV and marine shore power cords.
