I assume there is a change-over relay somewhere to disconnect the van from the battery when connected to car but haven't located it. I always thought this was by design to discourage the stupid people who chuck the kids dogs etc in the caravan to have a quiet drive. Years ago it was relatively common to see a bunch of kids pulling faces at passing traffic.

Having seen what's left when a caravan goes over on the motorway I'm glad it doesn't seem to happen anymore.
