In many models of TM, there is a switch to control the forward ceiling lights. But, if the 12V supply wire for the ceiling has shorted out, that could correspond to your blown fuse.
From your power converter's 12v fuse board, one wire (fused 30A) goes to the batteries, where yet another fuse is present before reaching the first battery terminal. Through many model years, TM used a spring-loaded glass fuse at the battery end. Over age, and with possible exposure to weather and H2S gas, the spring inside can rust and become non-conductive. I'll recommend replacing that spring-loaded fuse with an ATC version. (Just be sure that the leads for the ATC are large, AWG-10).
