The way that I am going to begin my response is to ask a series of questions for you to consider
Have you developed your emergency exit plan for your coach?
Have you and your loved ones practiced that emergency exit plan until you can safely exit the coach within 20 seconds?
Have you verified that your fire extinguisher is rated for electrical fires?
Have you tested your smoke detectors?
Does you insurance pay for fire damage resulting from an unauthorized modification to the electrical system?
Are you prepared to void all warranties on the coach due to unauthorized modifications to the electrical system?
A fuse is designed to blow when there is an overload or short circuit condition. Depending on the circuit involved changing to a higher amperage fuse could cause the wiring to burn before a fuse is blown. This in turn could result in a catastrophic electrical fire.
