One end goes to the + battery terminal, the other end to everything else that needs the 12V. It is right next to the inverter box (2012 19'). The only markings are a '30V' stamped on the metal case and 'V/A' moulded into the plastic part. If you wrote V/A on the blackboard in a physics class it would be Ohms. Is it a fuse/breaker or a shunt or what?

It's na auto resetting fuse. Quite common in certain areas of cars. It will act as a fuse, but doesn't need resetting or replacing if it goes over the fuse condition.
It might need replacing if it gets tripped enough. Just had to replace one that had failed because one of the nuts on one was loose which caused a poor connection that ultimately caused the breaker to fail. Fortunately it’s a cheap part.

Good point Scott. I keep a spare in the tool box just in case I'm out in the boonies and it fails.
