Just wondering if anyone knows a source for a replacement main 30 amp breaker for a 2015 Scamp? Looks like it is part of a dual breaker that is 30 on one side and 15 amps on the other. Seems a bit specialized. Some googling and amazoning did not really show much. A generic YouTube RV video showed Square D breakers that look about right. Of course, I will just call Scamp at some point but that particular breaker is not listed on their website. Thanks.

Replacement 30 amp main breaker for 2015 scamp16?
The Siemens QT is a common breaker, but I do not think the 30 / 15 split is common. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Siemens-30-15-Amp-Single-Pole-Duplex-Circuit...
Yes, I see that is exactly the one I have as well. Will order one from HD as soon as we are home. My 30 amp circuit trips with a 900 watt heater plugged into the microwave outlet, and gets hot and smells like burnt plastic. However, with only light loads like fridge and tea kettle it seems to be ok.

I'd just give Scamp a call and find out what to get. It should be a fairly standard breaker that you can get at the box stores or Amazon, but sometimes it needs to be a certain brand to match the electrical box.

I got a Siemens QT 20/15 breaker to replace the toasted 30/15 breaker from the RV supply in Quartzsite and that will get me home as long as I don’t run the elec heater and tea kettle at the same time. Have ordered a couple of the 30/15 breakers from Home Depot so I’ll have a spare in the future. I noticed that particular breaker would often be in the tripped state after a day of driving (of course no power connected) so I think just all the mechanical jiggling must have caused some damage.
Thanks for the help.
