    Some circuit breakers cannot handle the vibration (because they are spring loaded). See what has been previously used or recommended for car/truck/motorbike

    it depends on the type of circuit breaker

    in a large majority of rigid buses run a blade type circuit breaker fuse that plugs into a standard fuse box which i have found no fault with which i will be running in my car when i can locate a good supplier of them

    I have them in mine. I had a 60amp off the battery in boot but found it would trip to easily when the motor cranked over for about more than 4 turns when starting or flooded. It was a pain to open boot and reset all time. Currently have a 120amp jobbey and it works a treat.......but i think 120 is little too big. if you could find somethinf inbetween it would be better.
