And where does one find such a switch?

I can find DPDT switches in "electronics" but they don't have the "form
factor" as your regular AC switches.

Any electrical supply house will order you one for about twenty dollars
for the public and somewhat less to an electrician that they deal with
regularly. They're a stock item at RV repair and parts outlets but they
price them outrageously. Leviton # 1286 is one twenty ampere model that
is readily ordered through a supply house.
