How to add mutiple ViewModels to user controls in main window

This my first attempt at implementing the MVVM model so apologies in advance. I have a main window which has its own ViewModel. The Main Window then has three user controls which i which loads depending on what selected in the navigation menu. However the data context is not changing to the correct view model.

MainWindow.xaml

<Window.DataContext>
    <VM:MainVM></VM:MainVM>
</Window.DataContext> 

<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="View1Template" DataType="{x:Type VM:CustomerVM}">
        <View:Customers  DataContext="{Binding VM:CustomerVM}" />
    </DataTemplate>

    <DataTemplate x:Key="View2Template" DataType="{x:Type VM:SuppliersVM}">
        <View:Suppliers DataContext="{Binding VM:Suppliers}"/>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>

<ContentControl  Margin="0,135,0,10" Grid.Column="1">
    <ContentControl.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
            <Setter Property="ContentTemplate"  Value="{StaticResource View1Template}" />
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SwitchView}" Value="0">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource View1Template}" />
                </DataTrigger>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding SwitchView}" Value="1">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource View2Template}" />
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>

this has its own ViewModel and navigation loads the view correctly, however i have a command which runs on load and its not performing. This just populates a listview. I know it works because if i remove the datacontext of the window and set it as CustomerVM the listview is populated however navigation no longer works because MainVM has been removed.

Customer.xaml

<i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <i:EventTrigger EventName="Loaded">
        <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding LoadCustomersCommand}" />
    </i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
<Grid>
    <TextBox Tag="Search Customers" x:Name="searchTextBox" Text="{Binding SearchText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="40" Margin="10,9,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="340" Padding="5,6,0,0" FontSize="16"/>
    <Label Content="{Binding Path=SearchText}" Margin="430,0,436,263" />
    <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Customers}" x:Name="customerListBox" Margin="10,57,10,10"  AlternationCount="2"   >
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding id}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="NAME" Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding name}"  />
                <GridViewColumn Header="ADDRESS" Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding address1}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="ADDRESS 2" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding address2}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="TOWN" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding town}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="COUNTY" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding county}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="POSTCODE" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding postcode}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="PHONE" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding phone}" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="EMAIL" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding email}" />
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>   
    </ListView>
</Grid>

CustomerVM.cs

private string _searchText;
private readonly ObservableCollection<Customer> _customers = new ObservableCollection<Customer>();

public string Title = "Customers";

public string SearchText
{
    get { return _searchText; }
    set
    {
        _searchText = value;
        RaisePropertyChangedEvent("SearchText");
    }
}

public IEnumerable<Customer> Customers
{
    get { return _customers; }
}

public ICommand LoadCustomersCommand
{
    get { return new DelegateCommand(LoadCustomers); }
}

public void LoadCustomers()
{
    Customer cus = new Customer { id = 1, name = "sam" };
    _customers.Add(cus);

}

MainVM.cs

public ICommand NavigationClick
{
    get { return new DelegateCommand(Navigate); }
}

public void Navigate()
{        
    SwitchView = 1;
}
