Camco/Marinco 50 amp Right Angle Adapter

Looking for information on the plug config on these adapters. From what I've read on reviews many, if not all, rv's have the male amp outlet at a different angle which results in the right angle adapter not going directly down.

The pics of both manufacturers of these adapters do not show the female end so it's impossible to determine if it'll work for me without ordering one.

If anyone has one of these and wouldn't mind taking a pic of the that female screw on end letting me know the orientation (where is 12 o'clock) I'd sure appreciate it. I've read where several people have unscrewed their outlet and were able to rotate it to match the adapter.

Thanks in advance...

Ron

    Phew....plus the Camco one is half the price of the Marinco.



    There's a reason for that.

    That's encouraging....with my male at the 730-830, sounds like it'll fit straight in and then hang down.

    Thanks

    On a 50A plug, it doesn't matter male or female, the round pin is ground, the one opposite to it is neutral and the remaining two are L1 & L2(hots) They are all the same.

    Bingo! I'm looking for someone who has one, let me know either Camco or Marinco, who can tell me where the ground is on the female end....top being 12 o'clock.

    My male rv outlet has the ground at about 7:30 to 8:30 as you look directly at it.

    If the cable would not hang straight down I would simply rotate the the male connector on the RV. :) Mine happened to hang straight down, lucky I guess. :)
