Sharon & Andy, I did the same thing once to mine. And yes, it is very hard to get those 12V plugs into that outlet. There has been alot of discussion here in the past about those outlets. What some of us do is to keep a 12V splitter in the outlet (mine has wires that hang down and splits into 2 outlets) and that way (1) if you plug something in that has too much amperage, it blows the splitter's fuse first instead of the Winegard fuse and (2) it keeps you from breaking the Winegard receptacle (I did that and others here have too).

We have 2 air compressors, one just for tires and the other one is a high volume for blowing up floaty toys for the lake and air mattresses. The tire filler upper one is a Campbell Hausfeld (we've that thing for years) and the other high volume one is an Intex.

I don't know the exact type of a fuse but you could just pull it out and take it to Radio Shack, they have a good selection of fuses.
