I have searched many websites and have found 0 110 volt rv light switches. The apparent difference between rv and household switches appear to be that household type use a seperate electrical box to mount the switch in while the rv type have an integrated box/switch. No electrical wire attaching points open to the hole in the wall as in house type swithces.

So, I gave up and called DRV parts and they have a dimmer type switch for about $14 so I have one being shipped to me. The person who helped me, Greg, didn't think that it would be a problem to use a household switch but I elected to stay with rv stuff...
