Battery Fuse Blowing

We bought a new 2024 Salem FSX 174BHLE from Camping World about 4 months ago.  We really like the trailer but have been having an issue since delivery of the trailer.

The first time we tried to use the trailer we couldn’t get the interior lights to work on battery and finally figured out that the 15amp fuse had blown for the battery on the converter.  Replaced the battery fuse and it blew shortly after, although I am not sure when it happened.

I have figured out that it blows when you turn the AC main circuit breaker on/off.  

I have called the selling dealer multiple times and they have been no help in their service department.  They are also an hour and half away from us.  I assume we have a warranty on the trailer but I am not sure I can get any assistance from them.

I have a multimeter and feel like a can diagnose the issue with some guidance.  Where can I start?

    if your comfortable, the first thing I would do is look at the wiring connections in the panel and where stuff ties into the converter and make sure they are all tight and nothing is touching anything else causing a short.  

    but having said that, it is a new sale only 4 months old.. get camping world to fix it.
