Main DC inline fuse and/or holder is melting
My Weekend Warrior toy hauler main DC power line has an inline fuse about foot away from battery and the fuse holder is getting really hot and starts to melt. It wont actually trip the fuse for a whil...

Apparently from your description of failure you are not exceeding the rated value of the fuse otherwise the fuse would blow and open the circuit.
Your would expect the fuse to blow if something is melting your wiring and fuse holder...
If this is the fuse assy close to the battery terminals its function is to protect the wiring more than providing system protection.
Almost has to be associated with too small of wiring or under rated fuse holder for the amount of current being used.
This may not be your problem but alot of times when folks upgrade their converter/charger from the original OEM 25-30 DC AMPS model to a 45-55 DC Amps model and they do not replace the wiring or the inline fuse assy to a larger rated size between the converter/charger and the battery connection.
