I would have thought a wire tapped into the gearbox-mounted switch to a dash-mounted switch would be simplest.

Two problems maybe -

1. It would also switch off the reversing lights (which probably wouldn't be a concern as they only light up the caravan and could be better not on anyway) and

2. The danger of forgetting to switch it back on. Can't think of a circuit to light a warning lamp when power's off, but I'm sure it's possible
