Hi

The sizes fuse required depends on the wire size.

I removed my wireless module when the trailer was about 1 year old. I protected everything except the hydraulic pump with a 30 amp inline fuse. Then protected the rear stabilizers, awning and front landing gear with fuses of the correct sizes for the wires to them. Then a few months ago I installed a second landing gear motor on the passenger side of the trailer, I have now protected the wiring with 30amp Auto breakers on all four wires 2 at each motor and the one to the main relay for a total of 5 30amp auto breakers.

I also have a 100amp fuse on my battery to protect all of the 12v wiring in the trailer.

I am more concerned with a short to ground somewhere in the 12 v wiring system than I am in protecting any particular appliance. This is for fire protection.
