Need help identifying an electrical part

This bolts on the tongue of my 2002 Coyote hybrid, a wire comes from the positive battery terminal then another goes into the camper frame. I was hoping it was something I could pick up locally, if I knew what to ask for...

    It's #8awg coming from the camper wiring. Nothing in the manual except that a manual resetting breaker is placed 18" from the battery, so it's been replaced...
  • "looks" like a 30 amp, see if you can read the size of the wire, then go from there
  • Something missing here...you can't run one end to the positive lead of the battery and the other lead to chassis ground....
  • Any marking will be on the metal case under the red cover.
    Number will be part of a short string not alone.

    OK, what wire size is connected? Or what is the converter amp rating or model number.
    Worst case go small with a 30 amp.
  • Ugg, there's nothing readable on the sides or back. I wonder if it's in the original paper work anywhere? Is there a common size?
  • Self resetting circuit breaker available at any autoparts store.
    Trick is finding the amp rating on the side. Look for a 30, 40, or 50 as most common.
    They don't always come with the plastic boot cover. Liquid brush on electric tape could substitute.

    Although I prefer a manual reset breaker such as Bussmann Hiamp.
