RV Adapter Plug NEMA TT-30P to 5-15R
This is a heavy-duty power adapter designed for RVs, campers, trailers, or boats with a 30 Amp TT-30P male plug (standard RV shore power connector) to connect safely to a standard 15 Amp NEMA 5-15R household outlet (common 110V/120V wall socket). It allows RV owners to access limited household power for essential loads like lights, fans, or charging without needing a full 30A pedestal—ideal for dry camping, home storage, or emergency use. The ETL Certified designation (from Intertek) verifies compliance with UL standards for electrical safety, including shock, fire, and overload protection. Most models are short-cord designs (10-14 inches) with weatherproof construction for outdoor durability, but note: it derates the RV system to 15A max (1875W), so avoid high-draw appliances like AC units to prevent tripping breakers or overheating.
Key Use Case: Plug the TT-30P male end into your RV’s power inlet, then insert the NEMA 5-15R female end into a garage or home outlet. Some models include LED indicators or built-in surge protection for added convenience.

Intended Use & Applications
- Powering your RV from a standard garage, workshop, or outdoor household outlet.
- Use at campsites or locations that lack a dedicated 30-amp RV power pedestal.
- Allows for running essential 110V appliances and electronics in your RV (e.g., lights, TV, phone chargers, microwave with caution).
⚠️ Important Safety Warnings & Usage Limitations
- DO NOT EXCEED 15 AMPS: This adapter does not increase the available power. The circuit you are plugging into is limited to 15 amps. You must manage your RV’s power consumption to avoid overloading the circuit and tripping a breaker.
- Power Management is Critical: You cannot run multiple high-wattage appliances simultaneously (e.g., Air Conditioner + Microwave + Water Heater). This will likely trip the 15-amp breaker. You may need to run appliances one at a time.
- Check for Voltage: Ensure your RV is designed for 125V service. This adapter is not for use with 250V RV systems.
- Inspect Before Use: Always inspect the adapter and cords for any signs of damage, cracking, or overheating before each use.
- Do Not Use in Rain/Snow: Keep the connection dry and protected from the elements.
