Bathroom light

Just bought a new TT last week found that the 12v light in the ceiling of the bathroom doesn't have a on-off switch in the wall and my wife and grandkids can't reach the light in the ceiling to turn it on. I know there are a lot of battery operated lights I could mount on the wall or under the medicine cabinet but I'd really rather have a switch for the one in the ceiling. I'm afraid if I try to remove trim work and wall panels to run wires and a switch, I'd end up damaging the trim. All the interior trim is cheap and would be ruined by prying this stuff apart. Any ideas?

It seems all of the wall trim in our new trailer is attached with 1/4 inch wire brads. Every time we pull it somewhere a piece of trim has come loose. I replace them with 3/4 paneling nails. Two pieces of my paneling were only attached with the seam tape in one joint. It maybe easier than you think to open up the wall.

You could use some plastic wiring channel to run up the wall and to the light to add a switch. You can get it at homedepot or lowes.
