This is what I replaced mine with:

Rated for continuous duty.

Working with no problems for over a year.

Thanks for your reply. I'm no expert on these devices, but I'm not sure why you are saying that they are all 15V coils. I'm not saying that you are wrong and I understand that they will handle 15V across the coil for a period of time, but I've looked at the Trombetta, White Rodgers, and Emerson catalogs and only one I saw was rated at 15V. In fact, White Rodgers offers the same relay with both 12V and 15V options. It's pretty clear from all of the failures that RVers experience that the lower cost 12V relays have a shorter life expectancy than what I consider acceptable (at least under certain operating conditions).
