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...

Thanks everyone. As mentioned initially, I have a breaker to replace the inline fuse on order and I went with a Bussman 50amp breaker:

I also failed to mention I did see two sets of multiple power lines connected together with the twist type connectors in my electrical compartment. I assume this is where previous owner tied in the non-factory inverter. I have never been a fan of this connector type (no real reason, just seem least reliable to me) so will redo these with a bus bar and terminal rings on the wires incase it is a high resistance area or similar. These are far away from my problematic fuse holder and did not seem to be getting hot but I just don't like it so will improve it while messing around with electrical stuff:

Looking forward to what I find with my new amp clamp and thermal imager so will post some numbers/pics in a few weeks.
