I would use 2 of these click_here , loop the cable and then double clamp it .
Note you should choose the right size for the wire your clamping .

Ive done them for over 8 yrs & all ive ever used to close the loop is a good pair of mole grips, i set the grips to size then clamp the loop, then release the grips turn 1/2 a turn tighter, then regrip the loop, i do this several times until its fully closed up & can't come off.

The cable will snap once the handbrake is pulled on, theres no way it will keep the caravan attached to the car, i can't count the number of times ive seen snapped cables, some caused when the van comes off the car, but many when the owner has unhitched & forgot to remove it, usually when they are dropping it off for service.

My worry is the new 13 pin sockets, the older 12n & 12s plugs just push in so they come straight out without damage, but the new 13 pin socket fits like a standard light bulb, you push in & turn, then the flip lid also locks onto a peg, I havent yet seen if it gets damaged in that situation.

No nick, i mean if it comes off while travelling down the road, will it break the plug or socket.
