YUP! That would really make it hard, for sure. So maybe it gets back to what you might have asked at first before we threw in too much of what we like, not what you actually have or need.
Maybe some thoughts on how to figure what's wrong with what you have is better.
Most common might be for both lights to run out on wiring from the switch with wire from the switch to first one and then the wire extend to the next. What that gets back to is the problem is quite likely to be at the switch or "maybe" at the first light. So to keep it simple, I might first look at the switch as the bad guy.
How's the experience with electricity? Not wanting to tell you all the safety things if you feel okay with that but not wanting to talk you into blowing the end off a finger!
For most, turning the AC power off is easy at a house but on an RV, I might guess you have a fixture that works off the shore power or an inverter when not connected. Got to make sure ALL ac power is off before digging in too far.
Once power is off and get the switch out of the wall, I might try just taking the two wires and wrapping them together for a bit to see if that powers up the lights when the power is turned back on. If they work right, call the switch bad, huh? If they don't, start at the next light and see if the wires are good to it. Meters are nice but we can get by without them if we have to, so give that a bit of looking and tell us what's found? Connections should all be in places where we can access them and wires rarely give trouble other than at the connections, so it just comes down to finding those access points.
