My truck camper has OEM wiring for a solar panel, the problem is that it's only 10awg wire. I don't really want to remove the fridge if i don't have to so I'm trying to figure out the best way to jus...

Most people ignore fuses before controller, some have switches for convenience when they have to work on something. Such a need is infrequent, and I just go up on the roof and undo the MC4 connectors on panels in this case. Switch - if you choose to install it - can be AC or DC, not too important as long as it can support the current.
But... Senor Mex pointed out recently - and I have to agree - that there is a possibility of a short between panel wire and ground. 30A is a lot of current through the trailer structure. This fuse should be close to panels.
After the controller you need fuses or breakers for sure. I use Big Baby breakers box with 12V breakers.
