Palomino Pop-up DC Not Working
I have a 2010 Palomino Pop-up that we bought new. At the end of last season the DC power stopped working. When I investigated I found that the 30amp fuse on the positive wire from the battery had melt...

Is the battery charged? What is the voltage at the battery?
Has the battery been removed? The melted fuse/fuseholder was likely caused by a direct short, it could have been in the trailer connection cord or elsewhere. There is often a wire in the trailer connection to the tow vehicle to allow for the tow vehicle to charge the trailer battery while in transit. If the wires were crossed when fixing it, that could be the source of your short.
Also if the brakes failed and caused a short, the truck would indicate a trailer brake issue and it could have shorted your fuse.
Thanks for the reply!
Voltage at the battery is 12.53
Battery has been removed for the winter season and sat on a float charger for the duration.
I will double check the trailer connection work but I am confident that, since the break was in the middle of the cable, I simply spliced same color to same color for the three broken wires. Then wrapped each repair individually and liberally in electrical tape, then the cable itself.
