Thanks Herk
Better for learning in one place
To answer other Questions
When the toggle switch is pushed
Poof
Fuse blows
Or when at dealer,awning goes in and out
I take it to storage and then went on two trips and when I go to deploy awning, poof, blown fuse
So they get it and replace fuse it works
I take it and then travel to my camping site and it blows
Oh and it's important to mention that in Oct when it blew it blew 2 times and never came out
So as has been mentioned
I don't know where it blows when I hit the switch or when in in transit or while it sits

Sounds like it could be a bad motor.

If the motor stops on a bad winding; it could blow the fuse under load.

Awning keeps popping the 15 amp

Well thanks for all the sugestions
The dealer as they say in the Mechanic world, cannot duplicate the problem so I get to bring it home and wonder at what inopportune time it's gonna blow again and then figure out who, and how I'm going to get it fixed.
I know there are those of you out their that will say don't accept it insist this or insist that, but if the dealer has it working I understand his hands are tied and FR is not going to throw expensive parts or labor (rewire the system),at it in an effort to trouble shoot until we have a complete failure of the system
Thanks again and when I finally get this resolved Ill post the reasons and fix so future shade loving campers with a similar problem can cut to the chase and have it resolved without having to go back and forth ??? Times

At least put a auto resetting circuit breaker in there so having to carry the fuses aren't a issue.

Yah I talked to an independent RV shop and the head Mech suggested that "fix" or should I say convenience until a total failure can be identified
Thanks Turbs

I had to use an auto resetting breaker for the landing jack motor.
