on a vehicle that bumps around a lot. Any brilliant suggestions to stop that, apart from having a fusible link?

Trying a fuse would show whether the circuit was tripping because the bump affected the breaker mechanically or some wiring was shorting.

No there's no shorting. Just a vehicle with very very hard springs and no rubber tyres!

why would you have a circuit braker if there is nothing wrong. Do you mean you knowingly overload the circuit and thats why it has a circuit braker ? beeecause a cu\ircuit braker is only needed if there is actuarly a knowen problem as a botch job. So stating there is nothing wrong is a lie otherwise you would just have a fusable link.

There's a big battery powering lights on a very old vehicle. If anything goes wrong it could short out the wiring. I think a circuit breaker or fuse is a good idea. We have lots of circuit breakers. OK so I'll get a fuse and a switch.

DC circuit breaker right? Not just a house one?

Just the one I was given. But I will use a 5 amp fuse and a DC switch.
