You should be able to buy any fuse holder as long as it's larger than 8 amps and insert your 8 amp fuse in it.
It sounds like your electrician at work is on the right track. You may have a poor splice that is creating resistance which will cause the wires (and fuse holder) to heat up, or you may have pitted the fuse holder contacts when the short happened which will cause the fuse holder to heat up. The fuse is designed and put in the circuit to protect the RVs wiring (not the tv), so that if a short occurs the fuse will blow before allowing the battery (+ wiring) a direct current to ground which could be disastrous.
