Fused plugs, or fused or circuit breaker protected equipment seems less common now than it once was. Maybe because equipment does not last long enough to need protection or offer protection. Or there is no user serviceable protective circuitry incorporated inside the equipment. In any case, for my money, I would feel much safer if all equipment interrupted excessive current flow for its own needs or the unknown hazards of anything and anywhere, we plug into. A burned wire or circuit board trace is one thing, a burned down house or RV is another. If anyone has lived long enough, we have all seen some electrical item catch on fire. I was home when I heard a loud bang in my garage. When I went to investigate, a florescent light fixture was on fire below a wood roof truss. Had the lights been left on and no one home, a fire extinguisher handy, the house could have burned down.
