Looking for a fuse box

Hello all. Maybe someone can help me find what I'm looking for, or cam at least point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a 12v fuse block, that has at least 6 circuits, with each circuit having an individual input and output. Not sure if such a product even exists, but essentially I'm looking for an online fuse block that's waterproof/weather tight. I realize of course I could make something with a weatherproof box, some online fuse holders, and some silicone, but I'm really looking for something cleaner and a little more professional looking.
 
Man this is right up @Fabrik8 alley.
If only he wasnt chased away by someone disrespecting his right to disagree with the hive.

I've looked at these, but I don't "need" the relays for what I'm wanting to do

If you want just a fuse box

This is the only style I seem to be finding, which isn't what I'm looking for. These take a single heavy guage power, and fuse it to multiple outputs.

I'm looking for 6 or more individual inputs, with individual fuses on each circuit, with outputs from each fuse.

I don’t know that that exists.
You could by inline fuses or fusible links and a terminal strip and accomplish the same?
The only benefit of separate circuits is isolation - once you put them in a common container that is lost. Typically the “bus” is what joke everything together with no bus you don’t really have anything to structure off of

Isolation is the name of the game. My whole intention here is to add this to a trailer, if I decide to go through the trouble of fixing it.

I want to have my brand new 7 way plug run to the middle of the front cross member, put the B+ wire on a fuse going to a battery, then run the other 6 circuits to a fuse block, to isolate the from the vehicle. With modern vehicles going to non replaceable relays, and circuits that shut down requiring dealer lever scan tool access, or module replacement, I'd like to be able to protect any vehicle I decide to plug my trailer into. I was just hoping to do it a little more professionally than a square/rectangle junction box filled with individual inline fuse holders.

I suppose I could go the Relay box route, run a 12v line from the battery to the box, then use the vehicle side of the harness as the relay control, use the battery and fuses for b+ supply, and connect the trailer side to the relay output side. But the relays aren't needed, and seems overkill.
 
Got it.
I think its overkill but I can certainly respect the intent.
The only thing I can offer is this idea.

I used this on one of my trailer recently:
Amazon product ASIN B07L8Z88XK
Maybe if you started there and then left that and went to a separate box:
Amazon product ASIN B07QDQRX7P
You could add a fuse in line in each between the two boxes?
