If your fuse for your Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning # LC517517 is blowing as soon as you replace the old one, then there is a short circuit somewhere, or there is an unusually high amp draw.
Since you're saying the fuse blows immediately, then it is almost certainly a short circuit, because a high amp draw will allow the load to run a bit and then blow.
I recommend running through all your wires and ensure they are in good working condition and not frayed or there is exposed wire anywhere. I know you said the awning has hardly been used, but I would still check to be certain
To check the amp draw for your awning, you can use the Digital Multimeter with 42" Long Test Leads # PT29ZR.
