30 amp slide fuse

I have the new trailer (surveyor 265 RLDS) hooked up with the provided 30 amp extension cord to a transition adaptor that goes to a 25' 12/3 plugged into what is a 20 amp garage circuit. The Slide fuse in the trailer (30 amp) blew after opening and closing the main slide a couple times. I suspect the 20 amp outlet but still question and am concerned about it blowing in the trailer and not in the control panel of the garage. Any thoughts?

your comparing blowing a 30 amp 12 volt fuse vs a 20 amp 120 volt circuit. 30 amp at 12 volts is the equivalent of 3 amps at 120 volts. You can run the slide without being plugged in at all, as it draws from the battery. Your issue isn't with your power source, but with your slide.
