I bought Siemens Q115 15A Single-Pole Breaker as part of my camper van equipment.

Keeping Additional Breaker Functions Visible
I pulled the roof cables through the PVC route with fish tape.
I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires entered the van.
I completed the remaining light connections, covered the boxes and joined the final conduit sections.

My Takeaway from This Job
The Q115 purchase is a fifteen-amp single-pole breaker, while the two alternatives add different detection functions. Ground-fault and arc-fault versions therefore change more than the face label or package, and remain distinct products in the comparison.

The Q115 is the fifteen-amp, single-pole model in Siemens’ QP breaker range. Its product data separates the current rating, voltage rating and pole count, which are different identifiers when comparing similar-looking breakers. The original Siemens data sheet is linked below alongside the exact-model retailer reference. For a van electrical-equipment record, those identifiers help keep this breaker separate from the DC protection components and two-pole devices elsewhere in the catalog. The physical connection and the receiving equipment remain part of the component selection, while the model reference provides a reliable starting point for finding the same part again.
No. Q115 is the single-pole, fifteen-amp model described in the linked product data.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The QF115A adds ground-fault detection, while the QA115AFC adds arc-fault detection; these are different breaker functions within Siemens' 15A options.
This single-pole breaker includes arc-fault detection alongside its circuit-breaker function. The body combines an operating handle with a test control.
