The fact that it's cheap would ring loud alarm bells to me - especially from a traveller's site - I'd suggest it's either stolen or has major faults.

Oh dear!

My VW's VIN plate, with type approval and weights is on the driver's B-pillar along with the tyre pressure sticker and a couple of other warnings.

It comes down to the difference in two unknowns - the efficiency of the TV power supply and the efficiency of the caravan power supply. Try thinking about two of your favourite alcoholic drinks - that won't give you the answer but is a better use of your time!

Since Milenco and EMUK mirrors both fit onto the door mirror casings, any vibration in the casings themselves will be transmitted to the towing mirrors.

Governments, of any colour, largely ignore long term issues I wonder why new builds don't use ground source heat pumps, much better than air source - would be easy fit the underground pipes while the foundations are being done

Historically a number of caravan makers didn't bother to room seal fridges when they installed them - completely against the fridge makers specification and against safety guidelines.
