It is a simple job to remove that switch and check it out. If it's faulty, it is easily replaced.
If there is no current to that switch, it's a short run (maybe 20") to the converter and fuse panel. I am assuming that he checked the fuse.
If the switch is getting current, functioning properly but no current is getting to the lights, it should be easy to ID the offending wire with a multi-meter. It is fairly easy to pull a new wire if need be. However, I doubt that is the problem.
I would check the wire bundles on the outside of the camper, in the back, where the roof support hinges are. They come out of the lower shell there and enter the upper shell. That would be the most likely place for a short or broken wire as the wires are exposed and they chafe each time the roof is raised and lowered.

Oops, I mean Carolyn or Wayne! Yes, we do know about the button on the bottom part of bath and did try pressing it with the top tilted but didn't make any difference. So, he may have to take it out (I just got back to house after a luncheon meeting and the elec. was supposed to show up and hasn't so far). My neighbor came over yesterday and looked at those bundles on the outside and also thought maybe that was the culprit (they are wrapped w/electrical tape) but I thought the elec. said that was the 12V coming in from the battery? Now I'm really confused. I am printing all of this out to give to him when he gets here. Thanks. Oh, and yes, the fuse kept blowing - that was the 1st thing my son-in-law checked before telling me that there must be a short somewhere in those light fixtures.
