8.1 Consumer Unit RCD/MCB repair / replacement for trip test
Campervan & Motorhome Consumer Unit RCD/MCB Repair and Replacement
Arrange assessment, repair or replacement of a consumer-unit RCD or MCB at CCCampers' AWS Approved Workshop near Kidderminster, Worcestershire. This workshop service is for campervan, caravan and motorhome owners whose mains electrical protection needs attention, including an RCD that has failed a trip test or a circuit breaker that may require replacement.
This listing is for the selected individual RCD/MCB repair option, not a complete replacement consumer unit. The appropriate device must be confirmed from the existing installation, consumer-unit compatibility and test findings. A tripping circuit does not automatically mean the protective device itself is faulty.
Choose Your RCD/MCB Repair Type
The available options reflect different device ratings and formats. If you are unsure which you need, book an assessment rather than choosing by appearance or amperage alone.
| Listed repair option | What needs confirming |
|---|---|
| RCD 16A Trip 25amp Earth Leakage Breaker | The RCD option as labelled in the selector. Exact device specification, rated current, residual-current trip sensitivity and consumer-unit compatibility must be confirmed before fitting. |
| 6 AMP MCB 1 Pole+N Single Din | 6A, 1 pole + neutral, single-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
| 10 AMP MCB 1 Pole+N Single Din | 10A, 1 pole + neutral, single-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
| 16 AMP MCB 1 Pole+N Single Din | 16A, 1 pole + neutral, single-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
| 6 AMP MCB 2 Pole Double Din | 6A, two-pole, double-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
| 10 AMP MCB 2 Pole Double Din | 10A, two-pole, double-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
| 16 AMP MCB 2 Pole Double Din | 16A, two-pole, double-DIN format as listed; subject to circuit and consumer-unit checks. |
The RCD option's wording is not a complete technical specification. Do not interpret “16A Trip” as its residual-current sensitivity. CCCampers confirm the correct replacement from the actual device, installation requirements and testing. The existing variant labels are shown here to help you match the selector, not as a recommendation for every vehicle.
When to Book an Assessment
- An RCD has failed a trip test or will not reset
- A circuit breaker trips repeatedly
- A mains circuit or connected appliance is not working as expected
- A consumer-unit device is damaged or shows signs of overheating
- An electrical inspection has identified a protection-device or earthing issue
Repeated tripping, a failed test or a high earth-bond resistance reading requires investigation. Replacing an RCD or MCB may not resolve an appliance fault, wiring fault, moisture issue or earthing problem. Any additional investigation or remedial work is discussed separately.
If you notice burning smells, scorching or overheating, stop using the affected electrical installation and seek qualified assistance. Do not repeatedly reset a tripping device, bypass it or attempt a mains electrical repair yourself.
What the Workshop Service Covers
The service is centred on the individual RCD/MCB option selected and the agreed repair scope. We assess the existing device and installation, confirm a suitable replacement where required, and check operation following the agreed work. RCD trip testing is relevant to the RCD option; MCB replacement is not the same as an RCD trip test.
Device selection must suit the circuit, cabling, consumer unit and electrical arrangement. A higher-current breaker is not a substitute for finding the cause of repeated tripping.
What Is Not Automatically Included
- A complete consumer-unit replacement or relocation
- A pre-wired consumer unit, new mains inlet cable or additional socket outlets
- Wider rewiring, appliance repairs or correction of unrelated faults
- A complete habitation service, whole-vehicle electrical inspection or EICR
- Additional remedial work outside the selected and agreed repair scope
If assessment shows that the consumer unit itself is unsuitable, damaged or needs wider work, we discuss the appropriate next step before proceeding. A component replacement does not by itself confirm the condition of the whole electrical installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete consumer-unit replacement?
No. This listing offers individual RCD/MCB repair options. A complete consumer-unit replacement, relocation, additional sockets or wider rewiring must be agreed separately.
Which MCB option should I choose?
The listed MCB choices are 6A, 10A and 16A in either 1 pole + neutral single-DIN or two-pole double-DIN formats. The correct choice depends on the circuit and consumer-unit compatibility, not just the rating printed on the existing device. CCCampers confirm suitability before fitting.
What does the RCD option include?
It is the individual RCD repair/replacement option labelled “RCD 16A Trip 25amp Earth Leakage Breaker”. Exact device specification and residual-current sensitivity must be confirmed from the installation. The label alone is not sufficient to specify the replacement.
Will replacing a breaker stop it tripping?
Not necessarily. Tripping can indicate a fault elsewhere in the installation or connected equipment. The cause must be assessed before deciding whether the RCD or MCB needs replacement.
Is a full electrical inspection included?
No. This listing concerns the selected repair and checks relevant to the agreed work. A full electrical inspection, EICR or habitation service is separate unless expressly agreed.
Where can I book campervan or motorhome RCD/MCB repair in Worcestershire?
Book with CCCampers at its AWS Approved Workshop near Kidderminster, Worcestershire. The team is NCC Academy Trained and has IMI Level 3 TechSafe EV/hybrid training. Bring details of the fault, any inspection findings and the device that needs attention.
