search amazon for 12V wireless remote switch. you will see many. I would recommend "RF" because that will transmit through walls. With this switch you can wire lights to camper battery, than switch them on from inside truck cab with switch. Plus you can take switch in camper with you and be able to turn them on from within camper as "scare lights". if you have to worry about DOT (or inspection like in PA) just leave the switch inside the camper.
What I did to my 2015 Ram, and will probably repeat on my 2018 is mount LED fog lights under the body of truck back behind the rear wheels. I can turn these on from the cab and they light up the side so I can see the Jersey barriers (concrete walls in construction sites). but don't shine out past maybe 6-8 feet. since they are low enough and under the truck cars around you can't see them. The jeep crowd calls them Rock Lights (but I used fog lights).
This also works well in campground because you can see the blocks you are backing onto in the dark but you don't light up the whole campground.
