It is not the fuse rating that limits TC charging via trailer plug.
It is size and length of the wire.
For reasons that I will never understand, the charging wire runs about 30 feet between alternator and TC battery. Since it is usually max #10 gauge, you have about 1.5V drop at 20 amp, meaning the fridge will deplete TC battery.
And I really don't need 260 amp charging current for TC.
