Where is this switch located? If it's back by the batteries, then it's not the type of switch we're talking about when we say a "salesman switch" it's a battery cut off switch and a log of coaches have them in addition to the salesman switch. While the battery cutoff switch can fail, it's not as common as the salesman switch.
The salesman switch we're talking about is right at the entrance door as you first reach or walk into the coach. It turn off most loads, but does not turn off key loads like the refrigerator. Is your switch with the heavy cables right at the entrance door?

If only a few lights are affected, and others work, it's definitely not the salesman switch. You have a blown fuse or broken wire.
Often times, there are multiple fuse panels, and the fuse is not necessarily where you might think. I have a fuse panel in my back bedroom closet, and I assumed it controlled all of the interior circuits, but it doesn't. I was quite surprised to find the fuse for the under cabinet lights to be in the outside front run bay under the driver's seat, where there are a lot of exterior and chassis related fuses.
When looking for a bad fuse, be sure to use a meter or a test light, don't just pull the fuse and look at it. Many times, fuses can look good, but they have a small crack that's impossible to see, and that's enough to make them not work.
