Roy, you do realize the OP IS NOT referring to TRAILER BRAKES but an actuator which presses the brake pedal in a vehicle that is being towed behind a Motor Home?

From the manual..
"Maximum amperage draw........................10.8 amps"
10.8A should be do able on a 15A fuse but I could see you blowing one out after a while just from heat/cool fatigue.
I suspect that your brake unit is in need of service. I didn't read the manual to see if there is any moving parts which need greasing or maintenance but if there is moving parts they may be binding due to lack of lubrication...
