The fuse in the panel is fine. Where would I find the one in the FF?

What is the status of the Fuses? there is one in the fuse panel and one on the FF. The FF also has a "open lid" switch that can stick..

I understand that. That is what is making it so confusing. The two breakers that were tripping when I turned on the breaker at the park was the 30amp and the next to the last 15amp along with the breaker at the post. Now, even though the 15amp breaker is on, there is nothing at the fan. I am not currently connected to shore power. Just 12v.

Your fantastic fan is 12v. They all are. It doesn't do anything or have any effect on the 120v side. What circuit breakers were tripping, and what circuit breaker did you turn off thinking it was for the FF?

Last week when I hooked up to shore power at the campground I started popping circuit breakers. Both in my trailer and at the post for the campground. After much frustrating trial and error, it seems to be related to my fan. As long as I leave it turned off and the circuit breaker related to it, everything else works OK. Including AC. It just seems to be the one circuit and/or the fan itself. I'm no electrician but my guess is that there are some very simple tests that I can do to at least confirm where and what the problem is.

Any thoughts?
