Hey guys, back again. Hoping to gain some insight into an ongoing problem we've had this summer. RV is a 2004 Fleetwood Terry Quantum AX6 365FLTS. The rv came with a factory installed WFCO 8855 ...

There likely is an automatic circuit breaker in the positive feed near the battery bank.
Solar controllers are often wired directly to the battery bank, hence the need for a fuse near the battery bank. I tend to class these as catastrophic failure devices, so a fuse is "faster" protection than a breaker.

A couple things to add.
My second method above (2x 40A breakers) makes no sense, at least if you're powering off the converter. The converter breaker is going to open before you reach the ampacity required to open either feed breaker, unless the battery is somehow "supplementing" the DC load.
