The problem is the earth on the caravan fittings if the car performs okay on the test board as you say.
Check all connections from the hitch back to all lights including any joints.
When hitching up and testing we start with the brake lights. If okay keep the brake depressed. Then turn on side lights. Keep them them on as well as the brakes then do indicators and again with everything on do the fog light and reversing light.
99% of problems will usually be a poor earth.
