It's an 18-inch dogbone with a 90-degree locking female end and a standard 50-amp male plug, so it takes the strain off a low-mounted marine-style inlet, threads down tight so it can't shake loose, and seals out weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run a marine-style twist-lock power inlet on your boat or RV and you keep fighting a shore power connection that doesn't want to line up, this Camco PowerGrip adapter is the fix. It's an 18-inch dogbone that puts a 50-amp locking female connector on one end and a standard 50-amp male plug on the other, with a 90-degree bend built into the female side. You plug the standard male into the shore pedestal or a standard 50-amp power source, and the locking female mates to your marine-style 30 or 50 amp inlet. Simple, and it solves a real problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 90-degree elbow is the whole point here. A straight plug hanging off a low-mounted inlet pulls down on the cord and puts a slow, steady strain on the connector pins. Over a season that strain is what kills plugs. The right-angle bend routes the cord flat against the hull or the RV sidewall so the weight of the cable isn't hanging on the contacts. It also tucks into tight lazarette and inlet spaces where a straight connector simply won't clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a molded plug head handle on the connector, and it earns its keep. Plugging in one-handed on a pitching dock, in the dark, with your other hand on a rail, is a lot easier when you've got something solid to grip and push. The threaded locking ring on the female end screws down over your inlet so the connection can't vibrate or rock loose, and the whole assembly is built to shed weather so rain and spray stay out of the contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few install notes from people who've lived with these. First, give the connector a light coat of dielectric grease on the pins before you first mate it. Saltwater air is hard on any locking collar, and the grease keeps corrosion from creeping in and keeps the ring turning freely months down the road. Second, once you've routed the cord the way you want it, snug a cable tie around the elbow so the 90-degree bend can't slowly rotate. If it rotates it wears on the O-ring seal, and a worn seal is how moisture finds the pins. Small steps, big payoff in reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to be clear about: this is an adapter, not an extension. It's 18 inches long. If your inlet sits at the transom and your pedestal is 20 feet away, you still need a proper 50-amp shore cord to make up the distance. This just gives you the right-angle, locking transition at the boat or RV end. And match your amperage. A 50-amp connection wants a 50-amp source and cord end to end. Don't try to feed a 50-amp system through a smaller service without the correct step-down adapter, or you'll run hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Boaters and RV owners with a marine-style twist-lock inlet who want a cleaner, better-protected shore connection. Trawler and cruiser owners with the inlet buried in a tight lazarette love the 90-degree clearance. If you've been babying a tired straight plug through another season, this is a cheap, sensible upgrade that'll outlast the connector it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamco has been building RV and marine electrical gear since 1966, and their PowerGrip line is the stuff you see on docks and in campgrounds everywhere for a reason. It's straightforward, it holds up, and it's priced so you're not afraid to keep a spare in the electrical locker. The connectors follow the standard 50-amp marine-style twist-lock pattern, so it drops right onto the inlets already on most modern boats and larger RVs. No rewiring, no adapters stacked on adapters. Pull the old connector, thread this one on, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree locking female connector routes the cord flat against the hull or sidewall, taking strain off the inlet pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-inch dogbone length bridges a marine-style inlet to a standard 50-amp power source without stacking adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-amp female to 50-amp male rating carries full 50-amp service end to end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded locking ring screws down over the inlet so vibration and dock motion can't shake the connection loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeatherproof construction keeps rain and spray out of the contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded plug head handle makes one-handed plug-in easier on a pitching dock or in the dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits standard marine-style 30 or 50 amp twist-lock RV and boat power inlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCamco PowerGrip build, priced so you can keep a spare in the electrical locker\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 does the Camco 55562 adapter do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt connects a marine-style 30 or 50 amp twist-lock power inlet on your boat or RV to a standard 50-amp power source.
