Fuses

Apopejoy

im a new T@Bber and a girl to boot.  I would like to know conditions that would cause a fuse to blow, the most likely ones to go, how many should I have in reserve, where to find a listing for which fuses match what.  Anyone?

Several threads on fuses if you search...Here's one that's pretty good...

Thanks. I'll get the hang of searching.

Searching has gotten better here just recently so your timing is right :-)
Still not the best but the best place to start.

Also, never apologize for being a girl! Checkout the Girl Camper podcast and the Sisters on the Fly group for some inspiration. And there are lots of girl t@bbers here and on the FB pages :-)

I'm a "girl" as well (almost 60 but you get the point)- and never had a need to know anything about fuses until my T@B. This forum is a life-saver. I have a bunch of saved discussions just-in-case. Fuses being one of them.

As a little comfort and to set the worry down a notch - As I recall, the only time I've blown fuses are when my brake and charging wires on the TV shorted out - that blew the inline battery fuses on both the TV and T@B. The other blew a blade fuse in the converter box but don't have a clue why. The ground fault tripped one time also.
Could have something to do with the fact that I'm rarely hooked up and running on solar/battery most of the time.
