I'd not even bother with the fuses because if you just run it off the bus circuits, they will be fuse protected anyway.
Both turning lights, Earth wire, Parking lights & side lights and brake lights will all be OK just hooked into the bus circuits.
You'd need to look up that particular Tekonsha unit to find out HOW to wire it into the system.
Some do run off the brake lights, others use a secondary circuit activated off your brake pedal switch, through the Tekonsha and then to the brake magnets in the hubs. What model is it? I've read where one particular model is crap...........
You need to be able to adjust how savage the trailer brakes work.
A smallish trailer compared to your big bus would suggest only slight brake savageness.............
Not like a 2 tonne trailer behind a Commodore!
