If the trailer stop/turn signal fuse blows inside your motorhome when the toad is not attached then that means you have a wiring short on the motorhome's trailer stop/turn signal trailer lighting circuit. The trailer stop/turn signal lights are on a completely different circuit than the motorhome's stop/turn signal lights so it is not odd these still work fine. The only advice I can give you to try and remedy this issue is start tracing these wires from behind the trailer connector while checking for brakes. If there is any corrosion inside the actual trailer connector then that could cause this issue as well.
