Fuses blow because they get too hot. This can be caused by too much current passing though them either due to a short circuit (wiring fault) or an overload (plugging too much in)

The short circuit may be a faulty piece of equipment plugged in.

Hi have you checked the charging rate, maybe too much power going in?

You need a meter which you put on your battery poles with the van on EHU.You should get a reading around 14v but no more.

Have you checked the battery for water ?use only distilled water to top it up.

Hi the meter you are talking about on the panel is the battery output. May be worth checking the charging rate ie what's going into the battery by the built in charging unit.
