2 fluorescent lights in LR not working
No power to either fixture. Used a multimeter to test. All other lights in motorhome work. Checked voltage at fuse box. All is ok there. Traced wire from fixtures back through cabinets to where the...

That was a great idea to use a voltmeter and a long wire to the breaker box or fuse box if DC to determine which wire is not connected. It cuts the tracing job in half.
There are inexpensive tracers that put a radio signal on a wire, live or not, and then you can trace it with a detector. I have seen the pair in a bargain store for under $10. The wires should go to the fuse box (DC) or breaker box (if AC) or else to another light so not too many places to check. When using the tracer you would flip all the breakers off or remove all the fuses to avoid getting the signal on all the wires.
Of course you could use an ohmmeter with a long wire to extend one lead. Make sure the power is OFF when using a meter in ohms mode as well as opening all the breakers or fuses.
