The LED Trailer Dome Light for Remote Switch # 3375625336 doesn't come with a remote but can be easily wired to a switch for activation. The switch you use is really just going to depend on what you like aesthetically or simply have space for.
In an enclosed trailer with open walls I would use a switch like the Pollak Light-Duty Toggle Switch # PK34513 since it has a small footprint and the back is covered so you won't have to worry about the switch grounding out to the metal walls of the trailer. I've attached a video below where I installed this and had to run through a few different switches to find one where the contacts weren't open on the back and could fit.
There's also the On/Off Push Button Switch for RV Lighting # DG52452VP, which is a smaller push button version of the # PK34513. I've installed this one a few times when I was needing something really discreet. It's small enough to easily hide on the little bit of space at the rear of an enclosed trailer and won't stick out in the way.
If you're placing this in a camper then I'd go with something that comes with a cover like the # 37212225. This will allow you to cover up the excess space of the cutout hole for a clean factory look.
If you have a different application or design preference then let me know and I can find something that aligns with your needs.
