My kids will sit there and play with them. I was thinking of cutting a remodel electrical box and wiring with the new toggle switches. Hopefully i can get a shallow box to fit. Thanks for your responses!

I can't imagine how the kids break them (mine have been turned on and off thousands of times), but you can get replacement RV switches pretty cheap on ebay (singles, doubles, groups of 3).
Just because you can't imagine it doesn't change the OP's reality. It seems like his first post indicates he's replaced them before.

I know my kids had to be taught a number of times to quit messing with the switches, and they weren't always as "nice" to them as adults would be. I can see where it happens but I only had to replace one once.

Whatever. What I suggested was that frequently ebay has inexpensive OEM replacements that would probably be less work than conversion to residential style switches and boxes. What I couldn't imagine was kids being allowed to turn on and off the switches so many times and/or so roughly that multiple switches would break multiple times.

Or a size 13 shoe up against the behind after they've ignored your polite request several times.
