I don't mean to be cheap, but does anyone know of a reason to pay double for the CB185-80?
Here are the two links...

Thanks for any advice or opinions.
It's more expensive for a reason. Saving money on critical electrical parts is a fool's game. Treat your RV like a boat for parts, especially electrical. I am a retired electrician. I generally buy Blue Sea but Bussman is ok. Here is Blue Sea 285 80A for $43 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
