Are there different regulations (the caravan is German manufactured

than home owners?

Caravans aren't covered by Building Regulations.

I'd also hope they'd have decent protection on the supply against
electrocution.

The caravan connections that I've seen (small sample, I admit!) have an
RCD outside the caravan & upstream of the caravan's own CU. IIRC,
it's a 30 mA RCD.

External box (blue 3 round pin connector) has a breaker.

Caravan or motor home normally has a fuse box and breakers inside (much
like a normal house).

So two levels of protection with implied mutual distrust.

Can't be arsed to go outside tonight to check on rating of breakers in the
van.
