DC or AC fuses? DC should be close to 100 amp fuses as it will draw 72a.
Whole house without a transfer switch? I can't imagine how this will work right. Inverter does not look designed to pass through 30+ amps. Are you just plugging the main cord into the inverter?
How about a pic?

I don't have a transfer switch. Doesn't the inverter/charger have that built in? The fuses that blew were the little green DC fuses in the main panel
Yes, I'm plugging in the main AC wires into the inverter. I'm currently at work but I will upload some photos later.
Ok, this is what I was thinking. You have the shore power cord or hard wired into the inverter. So when you are on generator you need to unplug from inverter and plug the shore power into the generator.
With no gen/shore power transfer switch like they have in MHs, how can the gen power anything instead of shore power (which is not there when off-grid) ?
Right now if you were on shore power, the inverter would "pass through" with its internal transfer switch, but turning on the gen does not get you any 120 to anything?
