Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Unplugging Experience: Camco Heavy Duty 30 AMP Mini PowerGrip Handle Male Plug Replacement (55283) by John Shorter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect size, almost waterproof

Easy to follow instructions. A much better choice than local HD or Lowes replacement connectors, they are far from waterproof and have a no-clamp connection, just a screw-on sleeve that works for solid wire but less so for stranded wire. Stranded wire is what your RV has. It has a clamp connection on the wire. With a bit of silicone, you can easily turn it into an absolutely watertight joint. Clamped and tight to 10/3 30 AMP wire. If you have an old camper with a molded plug that shows signs of corrosion and you're using AC or high-load electric heaters, it might be a good idea to replace them as a preventive measure. I plugged my 1998 trailer into a new outlet and the plug and outlet actually started to melt under load. I didn't know about it until the power went out and I started checking the switches and connections. I believe the original molded rubber stopper just couldn't handle the strain due to years of use and possible corrosion on the hot leg. If in doubt, play it safe and replace it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
