Help finding new wall switch

In my '04 Montana 5th I have what looks like a standard 120vac Contempory Style wall mounted light switch. It controls the light on my ceiling fan.

What makes it unusual are 2 things:
1.. The switch does NOT require a wall box. A hole has been cut in the thin wall material and the switch is self mounting with built-in tabs.
2.. The trim plate snaps to the switch and does not use any mounting screws.

I need to locate 1 of these switch assemblies. Can anyone identify the switch (what is it called) and maybe provide a source?

Funny how life works. Just after posting the above note I got a call from my brother who happenes to be a retired electrician. I asked him about the switch and he goes' Sure, their a old mobile home switch'.

So I did a web search for mobile home parts and sure enough there it is. The switch is called a 'Self Contained Switch'. Also available as a dupless outlet.

Love it when a plan comes together.
