At first glance I would say something is flexing when you are hooked up. Any cracks in the sidewalls up front? What does the fuse control? Lights? Couple questions about when the fuse blows. The coach is sitting there and the fuse is OK, right? Then you hook up, does the fuse blow right away or after you tow / move the coach?
I would put someone in the front of the coach while you do the hook up procedure in the chance they might see some excessive movement.

I take that to mean as you lower the 5th wheel on the truck, so something has to be moving. This is going to require some panel removal. I would remove some of the lights to try to get an idea where the wiring is going to from.

Is your camper grounded properly? I don't know what kind of RV you have, but it sounds like when the metal of the RV touches the metal on the truck, it's causing a ground fault.

Probably a good start, although it would be strange for the BR light wiring to be running that far up front. But there is often no sense as to how wiring is routed. Problems like this are always a nightmare. I assume its the fuse for the BR lights, does everything work before you hook up?
If you don't find anything under the front panel, then its gonna be time to try to figure out where they ran the wires & find out where the short is. Typically they go up from the converter / fuse block into the ceiling with a loop down to a wall switch, or if no wall switch then power goes right to the first light then on to the next.
