Fan in fuse panel constantly running...
When hooked to shore power, the fan in the fuse/breaker box immediately comes on and remains on. Is this normal?

Not typical.
But if the battery is really low voltage, then it could be happening.
I normally do not have the fan on my inverter/charger run at all, because I charge from the solar panels, and the shore charger does not run very often.
Do you keep the RV plugged in all the time? Or is it stored someplace where the battery can get low. If the battery is say 11.5 volts or less, then the charger will work at full capacity for a couple of hours, heat up and turn on the fan.
Also check the battery water level. If the level is really low on one of the cells, then it might be shorted, and you might have a not charged reading of say 10.2 volts. This will also cause the charger to run at 100% for a time, and turn on the fan.
If it is low on water, only add distilled water to the battery, and might as well unplug the RV to stop the battery from overheating before it is fixed.
