Battery Disconect Switch

Manufacturers have for a long time now wired recreational trailers with a suitably sized resettable circuit breaker in the main trailer cable connected to the battery's positive terminal so just because you're adding a battery disconnect switch there's no need to add additional fuses ... nor would one want to when the better choice has already been provided for you in the form of a CB that resets itself.

Disagree all you want :B ... fact is, resettable CBs are accepted as standard in the industry for good reason and obviously meet regulatory requirements, whether you agree or not. :R Fuses blow permanently and once they blow are a PITA because the only way to get the circuit to work again is to replace the fuse entirely at the risk that it too may blow if there's a fault still remaining in the circuit, whereas the resettable CB simply won't allow power through until the fault is corrected. Adding an additional fuse to a circuit that is already wired with a resettable CB serves no purpose.
