electrical problem, tried everything

I have a forest river salem 5th wheel 2008. One day the overhead lights in the front slide just went out, also the lamp on the side wall of the slide went out. I have tried everything, fuses, breakers, I even tried the gfi in the bathroom and the one outside. We are plugged in to shore power year round. This unit never gets moved as it is in a permanent camp site. I even switched light bulbs. Any ideas?

Have you look underneath the slide to see if the wires are OK and not damaged???? See pictures of wiring harness in post #1...

My slide has a couple of fuses underneath it. I thought they might be for the motor but a crawl around under as mentioned may reveal an issue. Get a $5 volt meter and start back tracking till you get to the panel.
