Sturdy but will not fit through access hole

Easy to install. continuous. I covered the halves with liquid rubber to ensure a tight seal between the halves. The handle allows for easy plugging and unplugging, but does not allow it to pass through the access hole on the RV basement floor. I had to cut the handle to fit the access hole.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Damaged

Found my mistake after returning.

As soon as I opened it I knew it would come back. The screws were pointing towards the B-pillar in such a way that it was almost impossible to put a screwdriver on them. Luckily I haven't removed the old connector from my cable yet. Update: upon returning I found additional information showing how to install it - slide the pins back through the case! Yes! Guilty.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Expensive

Great product for spares

I've used these all along for my 100ft extensions used for various configurations. Sometimes I have to pull amps out of them, sometimes just 20, but having these plugs is great. Holds things tight and tight. I have about 12 x 100 cords with these ends. Then the scammers remade the forks where I needed them. Never had a problem with them. Easy to connect.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Protection

Amazing product with the best replacement parts

Great way to buy a new cord. This fork is very well made and easy to assemble. Being able to move the pins around to install the wiring is particularly useful. I confess that I was initially skeptical of how tight the fork would hold to the cable. I was pleasantly surprised after installing the connector. I highly recommend this product. I would like to point out that it is important to attach the wires to the correct pins. To be on the safe side, check the placement of the cable on the…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required

As I began installing this connector, I took a closer look at the clone I was replacing. No brand or manufacturer. This Camco is of very good quality. Good fit and finish, the pins in the connector are removable. The wire is NOT wrapped around the screw. Camco pins have a captive wire clamp that clamps the wire between the grooved plate and the groove in the pin. Light strong connection. There are no problems loosening the screws.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear

Easy filter change

Like the other reviewer, the fork on my 30A line started to wear out and eventually I found it was cracking. At this point it's time to replace. Interchangeable male and female plugs tend to be fairly simple, and this one is no exception. It took about 10 minutes to replace the original pin end that was welded to the cable with this Camco end. The molded handle on this one is a plus that should make it much easier to plug in and unplug. After running it for a while I plan to open it up again to

Pros
  • Features Power Grip handles
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

2 defective plugs - spare parts

In an emergency I had to replace the 30A plug in our motorhome. It was Memorial Day and the hardware store didn't have it, so I ordered from Amazon Prime and it arrived late the next day. When I started the installation, the white wire clamp was stripped and I couldn't remove the screw on it. Contacted Amazon and they called me. Return allowed and new fork shipped. Arrived around noon the next day and the free cable terminal on this one was also poor. So I assembled the forks into a good fork…

Pros
  • Replacement 30A plug
Cons
  • Out of fashion
