Paul,
I guess that this is a theoretical situation so no problems, but for real world there is another problem which can occur on caravan sites. The van may have another supply (maybe even stolen) serving a circuit which is also linked to the "proper" supply. Often this is an outside light / alarm etc and may be controlled by a detector so when you test the section you're inspecting it appears safe, but can suddenly become live. This problem has killed people.
Take care. V.

Also - are you aware of the special regulations that apply to caravans? You should read Sec 608 of the wiring regs.....
