It's actually not such a good idea to start running separate wires directly to the battery. There should be plenty of space in the fuse panel to add additional fuses. If there isn't, it would be better to start a separate fuse panel and wire it to the converter feed line. You can buy fuse panels from 2 fuses to 50 fuses. They are very common in the marine industry for boats.....(floating RVs).
The only wires that should be on the positive post of the battery would be the 12V feed to the converter, the trailer emergency brake and the inverter (if you have one). Once you exceed that, you are asking for problems.
