Yes I agree 20A fuse is undersized. Believe it came with a 30A installed. Regardless, I want to get to the bottom of what on the trailer is pulling 20+A. Went through turning on each breaker individually and it was the 30A breaker going to the AC unit. The thermostat was set to “cool”. Interestimg that even without it trying to turn on its still pulling juice. Thermostat is set to 70* and trailer temp this morning was 60*
I hate to be argumentative but this is the first I have heard of an A/C being on a 30 amp breaker. Check you panel against the schedule. 30 amp is the main breaker of a 30 amp service. A/C should be on a 20 amp. 20 amp = #12 wire. 30 amp = #10 wire. 30 amp is overload for an RV A/C unit. It's very thoughtful your t-stat is causing an electric draw.
