Circuit Breakers or Fuses.

At this point in my build the few hundred extra on breakersover fuses is irrelevant. Other than money what is the pro and cons of the two.

I have had nothing but trouble over the years with fuses and switches on every load. Every point moisture can get into it will. I used to run fancy switch panels with a fuse on every one. Nothing but trouble.

my last build I used breakers and sealed mil spec switches, was super happy with them. I don't think I will ever run fuses again after having both and weighing the cost difference.

I run breakers and carry a spare in the buggy. Ive never had to replace one in 4 years but it did come in handy when my electric fan was going out. The breader would trip and I'd run till my temp got up to around 240 the reset it and let the fan run till it tripped again. Did that 4 times but it got me back to the trailer and I bought a new fan when I got home. Alot better than stopping and throwing a fuse in each time.
