Power Grip 30A RV EV Extension Cord 25 Foot Standard End Camco

Description

Product Overview

Power Grip’s 30‑amp 25‑foot extension cord is engineered for the demanding power needs of recreational vehicles and electric vehicles alike. Constructed with a heavy‑duty PVC jacket that resists abrasion, UV exposure, and temperature extremes, the cord maintains flexibility while protecting the internal conductors. Inside, 100 % copper strands ensure low resistance and efficient power transfer, supporting up to 125 volts and 3 750 watts. The cord terminates with NEMA TT‑30P male and NEMA TT‑30R female connectors, the industry standard for RV and Level 1 EV charging, providing a secure, lock‑in connection that prevents accidental disengagement. Two optional 90° locking heads reduce stress on the plug and socket during tight installations, while the standard straight end offers a traditional approach for users who prefer a direct pull. The cord’s dimensions—300 × 2.45 × 4.34 inches—allow easy storage, and its 8.39‑pound weight balances durability with portability.

Every detail of the Power Grip extension cord reflects a commitment to safety and performance. The PVC jacket is flame‑retardant, meeting UL and CSA standards for fire resistance, and it is also oil‑resistant, ensuring longevity even when the cord is coiled near engine compartments or stored in damp environments. The copper conductors are individually insulated, reducing the risk of short circuits and providing consistent voltage delivery across the full length of the cable. The connectors are gold‑plated to resist corrosion, a critical feature for outdoor use where moisture and salt air can degrade lesser materials. The cord’s 25‑foot length strikes a balance between reach and manageability, giving users enough slack to connect to distant power sources without creating excess loop that could become a tripping hazard. For those who need longer runs, the same design is available in a 50‑foot version, preserving the same robust construction and performance characteristics.

Packaging for the Power Grip cord includes a durable, reusable carrying strap that folds neatly around the cable, and an adjustable cord organizer that lets users secure the cord at any desired length. The strap features reinforced stitching and a metal buckle, allowing the cord to be clipped to a vehicle’s roof rack, a campsite table, or a storage compartment without slipping. The organizer’s sliding clamps grip the cable firmly yet release smoothly when adjustments are needed, making set‑up and takedown quick and hassle‑free. In addition, each cord is shipped with a clear instruction sheet that outlines proper connection procedures, safety warnings, and maintenance tips, ensuring that even first‑time users can operate the product confidently. The combination of thoughtful accessories and comprehensive documentation underscores Camco’s dedication to delivering a complete power solution that integrates seamlessly into the mobile lifestyle of RV enthusiasts and EV owners.

Compatibility with a wide range of RV and EV models is a cornerstone of the Power Grip design. The NEMA TT‑30P male plug fits the standard 30‑amp inlet found on most motorhomes, travel trailers, and many Level 1 electric vehicle chargers, while the NEMA TT‑30R female receptacle matches the corresponding outlet on the vehicle side. This universal pairing eliminates the need for adapters, simplifying the charging process for users who travel across different regions or own multiple vehicles. In addition, the cord complies with IEC 60320 standards and carries ETL, CSA, and UL certifications, confirming that it meets rigorous safety and performance criteria. The combination of standardized connectors and certified construction gives owners confidence that the cord will operate safely with any compatible power source, reducing the risk of electrical faults or damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.

Usage

Whether you are parked at a remote campsite, hooked up to a campground’s electrical pedestal, or charging an electric vehicle at a home outlet, the Power Grip 30‑amp cord adapts to each scenario with ease. The cord’s flexible PVC jacket allows it to be routed around obstacles such as trees, awnings, or vehicle steps without kinking, while the 90° locking heads provide a low‑profile entry point that minimizes the chance of the plug being pulled out by wind or movement. For RV owners, the cord can be extended from the vehicle’s power inlet to a distant shore power source, supplying lights, appliances, and climate control systems without overloading the vehicle’s internal wiring. EV drivers benefit from the same reliable connection, using the cord to bridge the gap between a standard 30‑amp outlet and the vehicle’s charging port, delivering a steady charge while the vehicle remains parked.

In addition to stationary charging, the cord’s robust construction makes it suitable for temporary power needs such as powering tools at a job site, running a portable refrigerator during a road trip, or supplying electricity to a pop‑up shelter at a festival. The cord’s 25‑foot length provides sufficient reach for most campsite setups, while the optional 50‑foot version ensures that users with larger sites or multiple vehicles can maintain a tidy, organized power layout. The integrated carrying strap and organizer allow the cord to be quickly coiled and secured, reducing setup time and keeping the work area free of tangled cables. Because the cord is rated for outdoor use, it can be left exposed to the elements for short periods without degradation, though it is recommended to store it in a dry location when not in use to preserve its lifespan.

FAQ

What size and connector type does the Power Grip extension cord use?

The Power Grip cord is a 25‑foot (or optional 50‑foot) model that features NEMA TT‑30P male and NEMA TT‑30R female connectors. These are the standard 30‑amp plugs used on most RVs, travel trailers, and Level 1 electric vehicle chargers, providing a direct, adapter‑free connection for reliable power delivery.

Can the cord be used in wet or rainy conditions?

Yes. The cord’s PVC jacket is rated for outdoor use and is both water‑resistant and flame‑retardant. While it can safely handle brief exposure to rain or damp environments, it is recommended to keep the cord as dry as possible and store it in a protected location when not in use to extend its service life.

How does the 90° locking head improve safety compared to a straight plug?

The 90° locking head sits at a right angle to the power source, reducing the amount of stress placed on the plug and cable when the cord is bent or pulled. This design minimizes the risk of the plug being accidentally pulled out, especially in windy conditions, and helps prevent damage to the connectors and internal wires.

What is the warranty coverage and how can I get support if I have an issue?

Camco offers a two‑year limited warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. If you encounter a problem, you can contact Camco’s dedicated support line, access online troubleshooting guides, or request replacement parts through their website. The company’s support team is trained to assist with installation, maintenance, and any warranty claims.
