How old is your caravan what make , model is it . Habitation relays have been around for a long while now . The easy way to check when the relay activates and knocks the 12v out is just to put the interior lights on and see if they go off when the socket inserted or when the ignition switched on .
Obviously that is just a generic diagram but gives you an idea of how the system works
Looking at that system both 9 and 10 as switched live would work , but the caravan utilizes the relay as a switch for the permanent live anyway .
I know with the Alko ATC fitted it is advisable to disconnect the caravan socket if leaving overnight anyway

See how you get on
