I did this to my cargo trailer, but I omitted the breaker/fuse for simplicity, relying on the source breaker to trip if something's wrong. In 12 years, I haven't had an issue, but I don't run 1500 watt hairdryers in my trailer, either.
I've encountered a few campgrounds that do not have 20 or 15 amp service. Only 30 or 50 Amp. That's a bit of a snag for this plan. Adding a breaker to your existing panel is probably easiest, if there's space and capacity available. I'm not an electrician.
This is an example. I made zero effort to find the best deal:
