What size converter charger should I get?
Our vintage travel trailer doesn't currently have one, but it came with a marine battery that's rated at 85 Amp/hours. The smallest converter chargers I'm seeing are 35 amp. Is this small enough?

I=E/R That's my link.
How many people fuse their battery banks ????
Thought so; If one makes statements that can not be supported, accept by precision guesswork then it does not exist.
Don't have a clue, but the ones that are aware of what a catastrophic failure can do will add one if the coach builder did not.
I would make a wild guess that most are not many even aware what one does or where it should be located.
bighatnohorse had a failure earlier this month and it blew off the top of a single battery in a string of two. No other damage was done, not even to the second battery in the string.
A fuse is much cheaper than replacing anything that could be damaged.
The monies, RV or life you save may be your own.
The old adage still hold true, (ignorance is bliss) have a blissful day.
