First place I would look is the left side tail light. Could be as simple as a bulb, if not he needs to look for a pinched wire. Start with the swing out trailor tongue and works it's way back
    I hear this BS day in and day out, just don't may any sense to me! I been in the electrical field for a long time and this BS just don't happen cause the fuse gets weak?? But we seem to have alot of folks here like I work for Doh in my findings in the field it's either good or bad, there is no gray area ! I make a nice living changing weak electrical parts, most are in my shop to be used again Thumbs Up

    I can't speak for fuses, but I have changed out a handful of weak breakers. Brand new, factory defects

    I had a truck one time that would blow fuses occasionally. Change the fuse and everything worked fine.................until I back my boat trailer in the water one day and immediately blew a fuse. If I unplugged the trailer lights before backing in, the fuse would not blow. I figured a had a weak ground somewhere but never could find it 12 volt systems are a different animal

    Just saying, two blown fuses the man got issues!
    Where can I get me one of them, TH? That looks like it would come in handy.

    As far as a weak fuse, I ain't buyin that either. A weak breaker, yea, I'll buy that because it's a mechanical piece. A fuse is not mechanical. It's either good or blown. I'm guessin he's got a pinched wire or loose connection that caused the fuse to blow in certain situations such as backin in the water, makin a sharp turn or hittin a bump. Oh yea, I have an electronics degree as well.
