Three Way Switch for RV Lights

Question

Question:

Hi, I can’t find automotive toggle switches that have three way functionality. I want one switch in cab of rv to turn on rear flood lights. Another switch at back of rv where I can also turn flood lights on and off. In home wiring you can turn on lights from one switch and turn off from other. This is done with what they call travel wiring between two three way switches. Can you recommend such switches and provide wiring diagram? Thanks
