Add a leisure battery with Split Charge Relay and swap loom to move the circuits over.

A swap loom is 4 wires and a new fuse box, that connects to the LB, the 4 wires (loom) go to the original fuse box and you pull the 4 fuses, which includes the blinds and put the wires into the lower slot as below, this transfers those circuits across to the LB and are now permanently powered from the LB.
