Can I connect my 30A RV plug (3 prong, 2 prings are 45-degree flat) to this without cutting? My HF gen uses this receptacle.

Aaron, No! Do not use this plug for your RV outlet. I have however, modified this plug with a cord to fit my neighbors trailer to run the generator into the dryer outlet for an emergency backup situation if needed. You must have a full understanding of the breaker box and wiring to perform this task safely.

Only way to know is to determine if it matches with the your generator's input/output receptacle's configuration. Rating will differ but not prong layout. This is a twist lock plug. Clipping or crimping off prongs is never advisable.layout determines the amp usage.

Do NOT cut the KEYs Off the connectors. It causes EXTREAM danger. Get the CORRECT connecter. US Navy electrician.

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

Yes it can. You will need adapters for the 30 Amp connections though. This comes with 50amp connections on both the male and female end of the surge protector. If you had a 30 amp camper connection, you would need an adapter for 30 amps on each end of this. It is a very good surge protector though-- Well worth the money.

Frankly don't. Wall end or power cord is normal 3prong plug. My unit has been in place for a few months with no problems at all.

In my experience the connection to the RV is very snug. The four prongs work very well. If you`re refering to the connection to the campground septic system, that is out of the control of the manufacturer. Campgrounds seem to have no standards for these connections. Many times I need to place a rock on the elbow to be sure it will stay put.

I assume one of the prongs is a bit larger (more square)? That is the modern polarity plug and sometimes they will not fit into old outlets. A couple-dollar adapter bought at any hardware store will cure your problem (take fixture with you so hardware store people know what you are talking about) or, you can update the outlet in your home that you want to use, with a new design outlet (not easy for untrained person to do and could be dangerous to try by yourself).

Are you referring to the insulation coating? If so, then no. However, you might have to strip the ends to make contact with the device you're plugging in to.

No, it connects to the 50-amp input on your RV. only the male-end is 30-amp.

This basically an extension to the one that came with my RV, it is for 50 Amp service, All 50 amp connectors r the same in the RV parks, so I c no reason why it should not work. Note 30 Amp connectors r different!

like one of the other posters said, you can turn the unit 180 degrees but the outlet will still be to one side of the casing. i think it is all molded plastic so it is hard to change any part's position

You could set two rails next to each other flush without a connector and it should work fine. I see no reason that you couldn't cut a connector. They are just metal strips with a special shape.

It will work with a adaptor on the end. Your 110 house recepticle will only be 15 or 20 amps. This cord is for 30 amps so the ends are different. I plug my camper into my house with this same cord and have the adaptor on end of cord plugged into house. Rv dealers sell this adaptor and I believe amazon and Walmart too for less then $10

Buy your cord with a 90 degree plug and then install the receptacle to match the orientation of the plug. If the hole for the cord is a bit tight, just relieve the hole in the cover with a round or half-round file until it fits (snuggly). On the side; getting a 30 amp receptacle and its minimum 3 or 4 each 10-AWG wires all in a single duplex box is dubious / tiresome. Thus use a 4x4 box, a 4 x 4 mud ring to single gang adapter, and then the cover.

yes, photo of product is wrong - shows 30 AMP. but, i bought this product, 55562, and it is 50 AMP or 4 hole/4 prong. you twist it to lock in receptacle on rv, then tighten ring. i use it because it gives me more flexibility - use with 50 AMP cord or 30 AMP cord with 50 to 30 adaptor. product has been excellent and is high quality. price is good

It is very close. You will have to use to bottom receptacle. You should be able to plug in with a two prong plug but a three prong plug might not be able to access the receptacle.

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

I honestly do not know. Try taking a close look at the picture of the plug. It has 5 prongs and is a skinny rectangle.
