This is one of those cases where things may be giving you advance warning of big trouble coming!
The fuse is shown on the limited drawings we get for newer model RV.

This is from the wiring diagrams:
There are several areas where I would be concerned with the current state of the electronics and how they may work in the future!
One big point is the sheer amount of dirt and where that dirt may collect and get wet!
Are these folks driving into the water or is it just sand and condensation?
Either way, it looks like big time trouble if this is not kept clear.
The 5 amp probalby blew due to being shorted to ground as it is easy to spot where that can happen on several circuits in this box.
This is about one of the highest priority sections for the RV, so things may get critical if it continues!
Note there is a 50 amp breaker in the other corner? That tripping will put lots of stuff out of action and then there are a couple other points where the 12 volt chassis battery is very close to ground by design and when dirt and sand get added and wet, things can go bad real quick!
What would bother me is how close to totally shorting out both coach and start systems, you are getting!
Looking at this drawing, there is a big solenoid ( colored purple?) in this drawing and it has all the power for the whole RV connected to it. This is where the two systems get connected together, so it is critical that it operates. But the scary part is how close to the body, which is all ground and the connections that carry the power. The two big lugs probably have at least a 1/4-1/2 inch of clear space but that center one I marked is really close to being grounded out and shutting down the ignition run circuit!
To sleep well, I would have to seal this box really well or clean and check it after every rental return!
Otherwise, I think you might be looking at some really bad reviews when one totally stops working!
