It's a double pole 10A MCB,just remove it and take it to a local electrical retailer/electrician and they should be able to supply a suitable replacement,it doesn't have to be a Seimans one most makes should fit.

All modern caravans are fitted with double pole MCB's to comply with BS 7671 so that in the event of a fault both the neutral and live  are disconnected Don't change it for a single pole unit.

It will be a double pole MCB as Saxo states which under fault conditions will disconnect both the line and neutral conductors. It may pay to take the offending MCB into a wholesaler to obtain a similar breaker as there are some differences in manufacturers regarding the fitment to the existing board.
