It may be that you are allowing the battery to completely discharge. When 120V power is connected, the converter is pushing more than 30 amps into the battery, causing the fuse to blow.
Allowing all of the parasitic loads to draw from the battery for five days may be enough to completely drain the battery. If you have done this a number of times, there is a good chance that the battery is now bad. I'd suggest to replace the battery and adopt a regimen of disconnecting it when stored between trips. Installing a disconnect switch makes discharging go away, also.
If the battery fuse is blowing with no 120V connected, you must have a short somewhere in the 12V system. It may be from a failed converter but that is not typical. You should inspect and make sure that the 30 amp battery fuse is the only circuit protection from the battery to the distribution panel.
