Fuse or Circuit Breaker to Protect 12 Volt Power Circuit that Charges Trailer Battery
Question:
Can I use a 30 amp inline fuse for a 12V hot lead coming from my 2015 Sienna battery to Aux connection on my 7pin trailer connector?

I would go with a circuit breaker instead as a fuse will require replacing in the event of a short whereas a breaker like part # 9510 will automatically reset so it's one less thing to have to have as a replacement part.
