Kitchen Fuse Blows

I have a 2014 KZ Sportsman and on our second outing when turning on either the oven light or oven fan the fuse blows immediately. It Didn't do this the first trip we took. Anything I can check and fix on my own?
I know I can take it in but we have another trip planned in 4 days so not sure I'll get it back in time.
Thanks

Hopefully something simple like a wire nut fell off

If you are talking about the range hood fan and light, and it is a Jensen or similar, it should be easy to just take the housing apart from under the hood and check for a bare wire.
Check the connections to the switches and then at the fan and light.
If all looks and seems fine there, find out which is the incoming hot lead and check that

Also, what size is the fuse? Maybe someone replaced it with too small of rating. It should probably be 15A (blue).

Look for a pinched wire in the metal access to the light and fan.

Welcome to the forum. I am sorry I can't help, but I would just start checking the wires for a short. They are probably powered by the same hot lead.
It has to be between the switch and light or fan, does it not?
Happy Hunting.
