Electrical Issue

I have a 2015 outback fifth wheel. The 12v lights in the front bedroom are not working. I recently had a light replaced at the dealer after a water leak. When I brought the trailer home the fuse for the bedroom lights was blown and the only light in the bedroom that worked was the one that the dealer installed. I tried replacing the fuse and fuse keeps blowing. I unhooked the light and the fuse held for an hour but now it keeps blowing the fuse again. The dealer is telling me it is not their problem as the light they installed was still working.

If I understand correctly, all the bedroom lights are on the same fuse? But, since the dealer replaced one light due to water damage the fuse still blows but and bedroom light the dealer replaced still works. So is the replaced light on a different fuse?
If a fuse takes some time to blow then the issue is likely a high resistance short. It takes a while for the amp draw to build up to overload the fuse then pop.
You are going to have to look at the wiring behind the other lights or the fixture themselves for any sign of water related corrosion. Visual inspection might be enough but you'll probably need a meter.
With the fuse and lights removed you can meter the wiring for any short.
