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
something like a 2013? Lunar Quasar 525.
ha ha connecting the car to the caravan to knock out the 12v, this all came about as the 12 core cable dragged on the ground and wore through 4 wires.
I'm in the process of replacing it. My new cable is not the same colours on all of its 12 wires and, for example, the caravan orange is thin, the new one is thick but I cant go orange to orange as I need a think wire for something else. I've ended up with something like orange to "pink green" and "blue red" to orange.
