So many questions. so little time

Just bought our first camper. 06 Rockwood Freedom 1980. First, having issues with ceiling lights and vent fan. I ran power from the house. AC and all receptacles work but no lights or fan. It is a manual lift so no battery on board. Also, had to replace 15/20 breaker after running AC for a couple hours as we were checking how other things work in the camper. Ideas? Thanks

No battery on board? What would power your brakes in event of a breakaway?

Maybe a popup but a pretty good size popup, so does it have electric brakes?
But as for the ceiling lights, usually under the galley are one or two popup switches. When the galley is up (trailer opened up) the switches close to allow the circuit to the ceiling to work. When the galley is down (trailer closed) the switch open the circuits to the roof lights and fan.
Check for a couple of these switches on the surface the galley (sink/stove, etc.) and then check the switches.

Found the switch under sink. Wires pulled off. Replaced and all works great.
Next question, what is best to use for removing stains on the inside of the canvas? Only one end stained. It does not appear to be mold or mildew. Not sure. Thanks for helping the "rookies".

For most stains I just use Simple Green and if that does not work, White Vinegar. And if Vinegar does not work, I have heard a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide works wonders; however, I have never tried it.
