Electric windows through leisure battery.
Have just returned from my first extended camping trip with Bargain Bongo since having the rear conversion fitted. Each time I wanted to lower the front windows for a bit of extra ventilation I had to turn the ignition on. This got me thinking whether there is any reason why the window motors couldn't be run off the leisure battery. I have 4 spare fused feeds in my LB set-up so it would be a very easy matter to run one of these to the electric window fuse in the cab mounted fuse box. I presume I would then need to fit a 30A fuse to this circuit to replace the one removed at the original fuse box. Is there any reason I should not do this as it would save having to have the key to hand every time I want to lower or raise the cab windows?

Its normal to switch 4 feeds, from the top row for internal lights, blinds and accessories.
Nothing to stop you moving the windows feed as well it only feeds the windows;

The kit I bought came with a six-way fuse box. As I don't have power blinds all I've got wired up through the LB at the moment are the interior lights on fuse 1 and the stereo and 12v sockets on fuse 8. Thank you for confirming my thoughts that I need to re-route power from the LB to fuse 14 (30A).
