Hello Clellspad,

If fuses blow, its becasue there must be a low resistance (A short) across the circuit. This is a fault and not a normal occurrence, its impossible for anyone on the forum to accurately tell you where the fault is.

If you have any electrical experience you should be able to trace the wires and check for the fault. otherwise you would be best to have it checked by a caravan technician, either at your caravan dealer of by a mobile technician from the Approved Workshops scheme.

As it is a vehicle, if it was bought more than 6 months ago, it would probably be best to have an auto electrician check the circuitry as in the meantime it is not roadworthy. Not an easy answer I am afraid.

Hi,
Sometimes when a light bulb fails the filament when it breaks touches the other pole of the filament causing a short circuit and fuse rupture.
The attitude of the bulb when it's working (lit) has a lot to do with this.
