Connecting a vehicle requires a quality electrical connector. Power cords for RVs need to be well-insulated, water-resistant, and able to connect to the campsite’s power outlet. Cleanliness, storage, and safety are equally important. Checklists should include high-visibility RV cords and designs that reduce the risk of electric shock.
There are different RV power cords available at different prices, but each has its own unique benefits. To make comparisons easier, we chose a 25-foot cord rated at 30 amps. Longer cords are available from some manufacturers. A special type of extension cord is also available for RVs. Depending on the campsite, you may have 30 or 50 amps available. It comes with a dedicated 50-amp cord, which works with both adapters and 50-amp cords.

Camco Power Grip 55501
No price is attached to Camco’s 5501 RV power cord. Affordable is more important than meeting a standard. A copper wire and a heat-resistant jacket are used in this cable. Weatherproof connections are made easy by an adapter.
