Richard, as per a previous thread here around the last of October, its possible your troubled circuit was wired to a mis-sized breaker in the first place.  As long as the wiring can handle it, 20 amps should be right.  Most here recommend NAPA, but I found the correct heavy duty flasher at an O'Reilly's;  don't know if they'd have your breaker.

That electrical bay door should have a wiring diagram pasted to it. It will show  which breakers are spares and amperage.

You mean there are some that are spares -- not working for anything?  

I kept telling this guy to go to the outside bay.  He insisted on determining first whether power was coming inside the coach to the horn, flasher, turn signals.  I don't think he read that chart very closely that pasted to the door.

A 12 year old bay legend may no longer be legible anyway, which is why I photographed and copied mine when it was still new.  I carry a copy with my master schematics book and another with the owners manual in its 12v. electric section.  And, yes, there are spares in unused buss locations in that bay.

My flasher was mistakenly wired to a 5 amp breaker in the bay by the factory, we presumed, and kept acting up.  BCS switched the connection to an unused 20 amp one that was on the same buss.
