You might want to think about running a dual-switch
setup like a lot of home lighting has (two switches
operate the same device).  That way, if you forget to
leave yours off in the back, you can easily switch it
in the front (or vica-versa).

I'm not an electrical expert by any stretch of the
imagination, but it seems you could use a couple
dual-action switches that switch between two different
circuits.  If both switches connect to circuit 1 or 2,
then you have power, but if they connect to different
circuits, then you don't.

Could be useful for wiring up any number of
accessories in a van, really...
