Camco Specialty Connectors
Camco Specialty Connectors: Engineered for Reliable Power at Every Hookup
When you pull into a campground or marina and discover the power pedestal doesn't match your rig's inlet, a quality specialty connector isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. Camco has spent decades earning the trust of RV and marine enthusiasts, and their line of Specialty Connectors reflects that same commitment to thoughtful engineering and field-tested durability.
The PowerGrip Difference
At the heart of Camco's specialty connector lineup is the patented PowerGrip handle system. The patented Power Grip handle eliminates frustration by assisting users in safely and conveniently gripping, plugging, and unplugging the female end without straining or damaging the adapter. For anyone who has wrestled a stiff dogbone adapter out of a weathered pedestal in the rain, this ergonomic design is immediately appreciated. The high-visibility yellow color also makes these connectors easy to spot in low-light conditions around your campsite or dock.
Built for Real-World Electrical Demands
Camco's specialty connectors are constructed with materials chosen for longevity in outdoor environments. The adapters feature NEMA-rated connectors and are constructed with 100% copper, using 10/3-gauge wires for peak conductivity. The ultra-flexible cord is coated with a weather-resistant, heat-resistant, flame-retardant PVC jacket — critical protection for a connector that lives outside year-round.
Camco covers a wide range of amperage configurations to handle virtually any hookup scenario. The Heavy-Duty PowerGrip Adapter line is designed to adapt marine-style RV power inlets to different power sources, bridging the gap between 15-amp, 30-amp, and 50-amp systems with confidence. Certain models feature 90° heads, minimizing strain on the connection and facilitating easier use in tight spaces for a secure, stable fit.
Locking Connectors for Marine and RV Applications
For boaters and full-time RVers who need an extra layer of security, Camco also produces locking-style specialty connectors. A threaded locking ring helps to create a weatherproof connection — an essential feature when your rig is exposed to rain, salt air, or vibration from travel. The 90-degree head design reduces pressure on connections, while threaded locking rings and coupler ensure a weatherproof seal.
Certified Safety Standards
Camco doesn't cut corners when it comes to compliance. Products are ETL certified, and many include a 12-month warranty — a meaningful assurance when an electrical connector is protecting your RV's appliances, batteries, and sensitive electronics. Since 1966, Camco has earned a reputation for providing superior goods with high customer approval. That long track record is reflected in specialty connectors that campground regulars and marina veterans reach for season after season.
Generator Hookups Covered Too
Beyond shore power, Camco's specialty connectors also address generator connections. The Power Grip Generator Adapter is a convenient portable adapter that connects a 30-amp RV to a portable generator outlet and is designed with a patented PowerGrip handle for easy unplugging. Whether you're dry camping or dealing with a power outage, having the right connector on hand keeps the lights on.
Whether you're bridging a 15-to-30-amp mismatch at a state park or locking into a marine pedestal at the dock, Camco's specialty connectors deliver the engineering precision and durability that outdoor power demands.
