There can be a couple reasons fuses keep blowing but most of the time it is a short caused by a broken or damaged wire shorting out on metal.
I recommend inspecting the wiring on the trailer and the truck to make sure all of the wires are intact and have not been damaged.
Another reason may be if you added trailer lights and they are just simply drawing too much power. That can also cause the blown fuses.
