I have three factory installed switches to my lights in my Bounder. One is near the entrance, the others are bathroom and bedroom. It is so much easier to factory install in the walls before they are sealed up.
You might try wiremold, it is surface mounted wiring track. They sell switches and receptacle box kits, and 4' to 8' long track that has a wiring cover, screw one side to the wall, place the wires inside, then snap on the cover. You could buy a 90 to go from wall to ceiling, but in your case, if the ceiling is styrofoam, you can cut it with a knife, then with the light fixture down, make a hole towards the place where the wiremold will end above the ceiling. They sell both metal and plastic wiremold now. It is easy to cut to length with a hacksaw.
Run the +12 into one wire, then out another from the switch back to the light. (that part is to easy to explain).
Hope it all works out for you.
