Just received my surface mount 187 circuit breaker/switch from Blue Sea.  It has two terminals labeled "load" and "line".  I assume the Load terminal should be connected to my battery and the Line goes to my RV circuits.  I emailed Blue Sea tech but have not heard back from them and need to get it wired up later today.
 
Nope. "Line" hooks to the power source, and "load" hooks to the stuff in the RV.
 
Just received this from the Blue Sea tech-

Doug,
Thank you for the question. With this specific type of breaker it doesn?t matter. But Line is the battery side and load is the device side.

That may be Blue Sea's method, but the normally accepted terminology is Power into the device from the POWER LINE connects to LINE.  The lights, motors, heaters, appliances, etc are the LOAD placed on the circuit.  Check any GFCI instruction page, for instance.
