Originally priced this at some of the camping stores and it was more than double the price that it's listed for here.
We've already used it 4 times and the handles on each plug make it very easy to unplug when we're ready to break down from our trip.
The 180 degree turn on the plugs is a nice feature, the cables are twisted or strained when using this connection.
Lights up when power is applied. Makes it easy to check with just a glance to see if we have external power.
It seems to be well constructed and solid. We've only used it 4 times so far but if the build quality is as it appears, we don't expect it falling apart any time soon.
When a certified electrician came around, to wire in a dedicated 50amp circuit for the EV charger, he was not happy with the adapter using 10 gauge wire, however. At least not coupled to the 50 foot extention cord using the same 10 gauge wire. According to him, 10 gauge is only OK for intermittent periods of 30 amp draw. Dryers apparently rarely run up to 30 amps, and when they do it is for shorted periods. The EV charger, however, can easily go up to the full 30 amps (after I had limited it from a potential 40amp draw in the EV configuration), for many continuous hours.
So it seemed wise to not go this path and to use 8 gauge wire for my application.
The handles are actually... handy. They make removal from a plug or outlet much easier.
The contacts appear to be good quality and solid feeling.
The 50amp side has solid contacts for taking a 50amp plug and holds the plug firmly in place.
The conductor wire seems well suited for its rated current and does not get hot at all under load (like the previous one it replaced and many of the "cheapie" units do).
Hint: Always make sure to use (a very thin layer of) dielectric grease on the contacts. This avoids arcing situations where the park receptacle is worn and loose inside. That will cause both the receptacle and plug to get hot, melt, and possibly start a fire.
Dielectric grease arrests the arc and keeps that from happening.
