What Kind Of RV Extension Cord Do I Need?<\/h2>\n

I’ve you’ve stayed at a couple of RV parks you’ve probably noticed that the location of the hookups varies a lot. Many RVs have power cables in different spots and you never know where the outlets are going to be.<\/p>\n

Our travel trailer had the outlet in the back, now our Class C RV has the main power cable in the front.<\/p>\n

Most of the time we can make it work but there have been a few campgrounds we’ve stayed at where a 30 amp RV extension cord would have really helped us out.<\/p>\n

They’re also really nice if your generator has a 30 amp outlet and you want it to be as far away from your RV as possible to reduce noise.<\/p>\n

When choosing a 30 amp extension cord for your camper one big thing to look at is the kind of plug or outlet that’s on your RV.<\/p>\n

There are two main kinds of 30 amp outlets you find on a camper. There’s the standard TT-30P RV plug<\/a> with 3 straight prongs or there’s the common twist lock style that requires a NEMA L5-30R plug<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first 4 RV extension cords on the list are the standard TT-30P straight 3 prongs and the last two are for campers with a twist lock outlet. Make sure you check what kind your RV uses before purchasing.<\/p>\n

If you have a short 30 amp twist lock cable for your camper you can also get a standard 3 prong 30 amp RV extension cord and connect it to the end of the power cable you already have.<\/p>\n

But if you only want one cable to run from your RV to the outlet you will want to get one with a twist lock end.<\/p>\n

In this review, I’ll go through some of the best 30 amp RV extension cords on the market today.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a 50 amp RV power cord you can go to this review to check out the best ones.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll also list some useful RV plug adapters that can be useful to have in your arsenal of RV gear.<\/p>\n

Best 30 Amp RV Extension Cords Reviewed<\/h2>\n

1. Camco Power Grip 30 Amp Extension Cord<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Camco<\/a><\/p>\n

Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Camco makes some of the best RV gear on the market today and its 30 amp RV extension cord is no exception.<\/p>\n

It’s made with heavy duty 10 gauge copper wire with a flame retardant and heat resistant PVC coating. The cable is flexible but durable.<\/p>\n

The male end is the standard 3 prongs 30 amp for RV outlets and the female end uses the same style.<\/p>\n

The plugs are made to sit at 90 degrees which helps take the pressure off of the prongs and fits RV style outlets better.<\/p>\n

If your camper has a twist lock outlet this may not be the RV cord for you but for most campers, this is what you want.<\/p>\n

Each end uses Camco’s power grip design with large handles you can use to safely and more easily pull the plugs apart.<\/p>\n

If 25 feet isn’t quite enough length Camco also makes a 50 foot version of this 30 amp RV extension cord (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> that has all the same specs as the 25 foot one. It just weighs twice as much.<\/p>\n

See Also:\u00a0The Surprising Differences Between 30A & 50A RVs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The 25 foot Camco RV power cord weighs almost 8 lbs which means the 50 foot version weighs around 16 lbs. Both lengths are rated to carry up to 125 volts\/3750 watts.<\/p>\n

The Camco Power Grip 30 Amp Extension Cord<\/a> is one of the best options out there if 25 feet is going to be enough distance and if your RV doesn’t have a twist-lock outlet.<\/p>\n

It’s durable, uses the best materials for carrying high voltages, and it will get your RV the power it needs for the kind of camping you want to do.<\/p>\n

The only thing that might make the Camco not right for you is the size of the plugs. If you need to fit the cable through a small hole in your RV the grips might make it difficult.<\/p>\n
