RV's are often exposed to significantly less than ideal conditions. Condensation, extreme temperature variations and long periods of storage without use can take their toll on RV components.

All of these can sometimes lead to damage from corrosion as well as set parts up for failures that you'd never see in a S&B home.

While there may be nothing wrong with your circuit breaker, the "worked for him but not for me" might be an early warning sign of bad contacts in the breaker assembly and could, "if the stars align against your luck" set you up for an electrical failure or, possibly an electrical fire in your power distribution center.

It's never "too much work" to heed the potential warning signs and check things out to make sure they aren't damaged or worn after a situation like was posted in the previous post.

Maybe it's being overly cautious, but...….
