It looks like two wires coming to the 50 amp female end, which they say will allow the user to get 45 amps when there is not a 50 amp outlet. But it can't be used with a GFCI plug. Is there an adapter for the 15 amp plug which will allow the user to plug into a GFCI plug? Why does Camco not have it with a plug which would allow it already?
The adapter will not work if you plug in of the pigtails into a plug with a GFCI. Sorry. It's the electrical circuit, and not the adapter, that makes this a non-workable solution.
Additionally, if does not give you 45 amps to fully utilize. It would give you 15 amps on one leg of your service and 30 amps on the other so you have to be very aware of what is running on which leg. The way those cheater boxes work best is when plugged into 2 separate 30 amp circuits giving you 30 amps on each leg.
