There should be a power panel on your forward bedroom wall drivers side. Check to see if any of the circuit breakers need resetting.

some of the bays are tied to the GFI over the kitchen sink. Reset the gfi switch and see if you get power below

Boondockers: it would help if you posted the year your coach was made. The suggestion by Larry to check the GFI would make no sense with my 77 coach since GFI's weren't used then. Without knowing the year of your coach we can't provide "age appropriate" information.

Boondocker: thanks for the update, it is weird when things don't go the way we thought. On my 77 coach, of limited relevance to your coach perhaps, there is a circuit breaker for all the non-main floor circuits. There is no shutoff switch and as I referenced before no GFI (my coach precedes that technology - I know it's stone-age but it did come with anti-skid brakes).
If you can find a tripped breaker you probably are on your way to solving it. If you have any GFI's I would check them since as Larry noted they can trip breakers and we don't know how your circuits are aligned. If you have a tripped breaker and no tripped GFI's then things get tougher. Somewhere you have a short or overload, a short typically will trip the breaker faster than a short. If you suspect a short and are comfortable working on electrical stuff then I would start by opening the receptical boxes to look for shorts. Otherwise you are going to have to trace the wiring to see where uninsulated wires are crossing. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
