There was already a hole for radio so I bought a cheap car radio to fit hole. As with most car radios there are two live supplies, one permanent the other when engine switched on, but with caravan only one feed so both wires connected together.
This was not a problem, some one had by-passed the master switch, so only if battery was removed did radio loose supply. However that has been fixed, so master switch now turns off radio, also when car power is connected as the relay changes over there is a short loss of supply, this results in the radio auto switching on and going into demo mode, it takes some time to start playing so you don't notice what has happened some times, and you return to caravan with radio running quite loud.
I am sure I can make a back-up battery for it, but before I re-invent the wheel, is there a ready made back-up system for car radios fitted into caravans?
