Ran genset, now seeing 19+ volts from solar
My MH has been sitting in the driveway for several weeks with the solar panels keeping it charged. NO shore power. Today I went in to run the genset. The voltage meter read 13.6v before I did anyt...

Ok, calm down. That high voltage was because the panels were not seeing a load so put that worry aside. The fuse blowing is an issue by itself but fuses often die just because they are an electrical device and they can have bad connections inside.
So, clean all connections you can find and tighten and clean the battery terminals. Replace the fuse then. Test again.
There are a lot of sneak paths in these complex devices and even with a schematic not all things can be completely explained. Forty years of sorting through difficult issues has always led me back to the basics. Fix the obvious. The obvious is the blown fuse. Then recheck after doing the things I suggested in the beginning.
