That has always been the case with TV's Ian. Your license covers att the TV's in your home and any you own that use batteries outside your home. This was to cover you if you had a handheld TV or in your caravan. If you are being technical they could argue that when you plug your caravan into mains on a site then you need a seperate TV license for your caravan because it is not longer on batteries. The reason for this is that I could have a license and you could say your TV belonged to me so my license covered it. This would be true if it ran only on batteries but not when plugged into the mains. Yes I know my explanation is naff but I am sure you will understand.
