You may be able to find the short in your wiring, as I was unable to find a wiring schematic available for your 1997 Shadow Cruiser. This is something that is unfortunately normal with these older campers as the records are often when manufactures are changed.

I always start by checking the connections at the roof level for the fan. As this is the area where water might get to the connectors the easiest it makes a good place to start your search. You want to check for any exposed wires at the connectors as these are usually only wire nuts it is possible for them to come undone. Using Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 makes for a better connection. You can also look at the wire begins to travel into the ceiling for any chaffing on the roof system.

Next you will want to check the wiring at the fuse panel for the fan. Hopefully the correct circuit is clearly labeled in your fuse panel to make it easier to locate. Again you will be looking for any obvious signs of a loose connector or the wiring being damaged.
