Different brand trailer true, but this is exactly how my '65 Streamline
works. The 12V and 120V systems are totally separate. The 120V has a
breaker box located in the bathroom above the toilet. This is near where
the 120V comes into the trailer. There is a screw in (household type) fuse
for the 12V, just as you have indicated. It is located on the inside of the
trailer, right where the wires from the battery come into the trailer. In
my case, it is at floor level, at the rear of a cabinet at the center front.
You access it by removing an aluminum cover plate, and there you see the
wires coming into the trailer, along with the screw in type fuse.
