I presume like a car, this is disregarded unless bought to claim or increase benefit entitlement. Does anyone know?

Provided it isn’t used for business etc. If you’ve got one handy, I think the CPAG handbook mentions some caselaw that deals specifically with caravans.

For legacy benefits there is a reference to a static caravan on page 496.
