The battery disconnect solenoid should be the only draw on the five amp fuse.
Power from fuse should go to switch and then return to the coil of the solenoid. I would check the wiring around the switch and solenoid for loose connection and damaged insulation.
Switch is normally a double pole double throw momentary switch.
Solenoid should draw somewhere around one amp so five amp fuse should be plenty.
Verify that previous owner has not connected other load.
Locate which solenoid your rig is equipped. There is some rigs that have an electrically held solenoid and not a latching type.
I am using solenoid , but I like to call they a relay!
