That is a 12 volt breaker. NO 120 appliance will cause the overload to trip. Also a short in the DC supply to that breaker will trip it. I do NOT like manual reset breakers. I would replace with a auto reset breaker of the same amp. Transient things in RV's cause fuses and these type breakers to trip. With an Auto reset, once the overload or short goes away it resets. Both Auto and Manual reset breakers can wear out over time if they continually trip. Doug
Auto-reset....great suggestion! And the location/etc would make that a simple change to make. AND it looks like auto-reset breakers are inexpensive.
From documentation I found online for my RV, looks like this is a 40a breaker. I think I'll buy these and install them.

This way, if it trips on rare occasion for some non-frequent surge/blip, it will simply reset and nobody will be bothered.
Of course if it trips and doesn't reset, it would then be highlighting an actual problem.
Thanks,
