I can likely help.

Looks from what you are showing you want to adapt a german 2 pole round PLUG to a Canadian receptical AND not change the voltage to up to 220 (leave at 115v).

Is this correct?

If so I am currently overseas but can make arrangements with my wife in WPG to give you what you need. Almost 100% sure I have this adapter kicking around in my travel kit.

leave a deposit with the wife and she will give it back when you return it. Not for sale.

that one will be a hard one to find here in WPG because normally they sell for people going overseas NOT for people who came here.

Here is what sits behind the plug three wires, the fellow I bought the camper from had told me the whole camper is up to code with canadian standards and he had always just used the adapter which he lost. SO my question now is how can I wire these three wires to a regular 3 prong camper plug like on my old prowler is it possible thanks

Princess Auto normally (used to have) RV plugs. Cut old plug off and wire in new and Bob's your uncle.

Not knowing how that plug/Wiring/device it is hooked up to makes it difficult.

Is this plug designed to deliver 220v single circuit?
Is this plug designed to deliver 115v single circuit?
Is this plug designed to deliver 115v two circuits?

my guess is likely option 2 is what is happening in your case but much more info needed.

Ya caa had the plug for if I were to go to germany and use my canadian things there but nothing as far as people wanting to convert germany pieces here Im not sure what more info I can give boakley the camper is very different only has 3 lights and a 3 way fridge ( stove and furnace propane) Id think it would just be a 115v single circuit but I dont know a thing about wiring this kind of thing it is a 1984 hobby caravan which I cant find any info on if I can take more pics of the electrical set up inside the camper or anything else to make it easier let me know. I was hoping to just get an rv plug from princess auto as we did to my brothers trailer but the wiring is different ( colors) thanks for the info

Fire is on a distinguished road
I would say you just have a 115volt single circuit there with the brown being the hot/live wire, the blue being the neutral and the green/yellow the ground. you can just wire it up to a regular 120 volt end and plug it in. the brown will go to the brass screw the blue to the silver one and green to green.

Get yourself one of these to replace what you have. if home depot doesn't have them then either eecol or westburne should.
