LCWRA and ‘savings’

I have a more specific question that I am hoping someone can help with.
If I own a caravan and live in it will the cost of the caravan be classed as ‘savings’ and affect my benefit? I am on LCWRA, including getting the housing element (I know this will change due to site fees being lower than rent) and I’m not buying the caravan myself as I don’t have any savings.

As you live in the caravan, this won't be seen (or treated as) having savings. Your benefit will continue as it should.
