Running light fuse keeps blowing

I just started having trouble with the 10 amp fuse blowing out for the running lights/dash lights. I was on my way to the store and some guy stopped me in the parking lot saying some lady almost hit me because I didn't have any lights. Not good!

I checked under the hood and the fuse was shot. Luckily, I was able to buy some fuses while in Wal-Mart. I didn't think much about it since everything worked with the new fuse. Fast forward two weeks and it's gone again.

I did a search and most people seemed to have trouble while pulling a trailer with a lot of lights on it. I wasn't towing a trailer either time so I don't think it has anything to do with that. I do occasionaly pull a 16' landscape trailer but I've never had problems with it. Ideas? TIA
