We have just received them and haven’t used them yet, but they seem very solid. We’d buy them again and I’ll update the review if we find otherwise in the future.
Description
Whether you're camping with hookups or courtesy parking at a friend's, power adapters are a must-have when the available shore power source is different than the amperage of your power cord
Upgrade your power adapters ("dogbones") to our nickel-plated adapters, and reduce your risk of a disastrous meltdown!
Ordinary brass connectors of power adapters are under a lot of stress during hot, humid conditions, and frequently corrode quickly—which leads to dangerous meltdowns like the one pictured.
AIR GEAR's exclusive power adapters have a plating of nickel over brass for superior corrosion resistance. The nickel plate is at both the male and female ends for maximum protection.
Each set includes two adapters so that you can connect to all the common types of plugs found in campgrounds, and at home.
If you have a 30-amp power cord, choose the 30-amp Set. If you have a 50-amp power cord, choose the 50-amp Set.
Why AIR GEAR adapters are better than other RV adapters
- Superior corrosion resistance – due to the nickel over brass male and female ends
- Requires less maintenance – because nickel resists oxidization, you'll won't need to clean the connection as often
NOTE: You'll still need to inspect brass electrical connectors on other plugs you may be using, for signs of corrosion (darkening metal prongs or melted plastic).
The AIR GEAR Maintenance Essentials Kit includes the necessary supplies for maintaining brass connectors on other plugs.
Details
- Adapter length: Approximately 13 inches long (including heads)
- Cord length: Varies between 5 inches and 6 inches depending on adapter

My Airstream has a 30-amp plug and at a recent airstream rally in West Virginia, only 50-amp outlets were available. If not for the adapter I would not have been able to plug into shore power. This is the first time I've had this problem, usually if there's a 50 there will also be a 30 but not in this case and more campgrounds are installing 50-amp outlets because of the demand so the possibility of this happing again will become greater in the future. I only recently purchased the adapter set and chose the Air gear set because of the plated connection points. I'm sure glad I had the adapter for this most recent rally. The reason for the four star instead of five is I do have one minor complaint about the 20-amp to 30-amp adapter. I would prefer the adapter have a right angle 20-amp male plug. It puts less strain on the plug and stays in the outlet better. I live in northern Michigan and store my trailer plugged into a 20-amp outlet during the winter months using the 20-amp to 30-amp adapter. I've had previous adapters with the straight-line plug fall out of the outlet over time. I really like buying from Air Gear. They understand their customer base and their customer service is great.
They look quality made. I’ll have safe options for hook ups.
Great product
Works as advertised. Good to be prepared for whatever electrical setup your RV park may offer.
Easy to hookup and have me a little of flexibility for connectivity.
Great set. Well made. Just what I needed to use when I use the generator or only have a 30 amp service available.
AIR GEAR Nickel-plated Power Adapter Set
Store owner replied: Thanks for the nice review! You never know when a campground hookup will not have the plug you need so traveling with power adapters is essential. Glad you chose ours. Happy camping.

I like the dog bones. I did not know about nickle plating. I noticed that my old dog bones had the brass plating had been burned off. Decided to replace them with these. I was concerned about a possible electrical fire. Thank! Feel safer
Using the 15 amp adaptor at Aluminapalooza and it's working great.
nice; yet to use.
These are top quality dog bones and should lat a long time.
Great purchase from a great retailer!
Great quality!
Quality through and through !
Nice quality
Everything that Airgear is always well tested, I’ve never been disappointed. I really like the idea having this set with me at all times. The only complaint I have is that the standard 20amp 3 prong isn’t at a 90 degree angle. The heavy cords pull out of any sockets that are up on a post, if the socket is low you’re good to go. I love the nickel plating though, it’s worth gold😁
