Not sure how the OP is 'over a barrel' if they have a signed contract.
Also if the fault is the same as what we had, and it does sound the same, the dealer would have to have towed it a few hundred miles for it to occur.
The dealer has him 'over a barrel' because he has both caravans and won't release the new one until the OP coughs up £500. If the OP wants to dispute the cost of repairs he will have to pay someone else to inspect it. The dealer knows a solicitor will probably cost more than £500 and therefore the OP will be reluctant to involve one, and, like others suggest, he is quite likely to give in and pay the money...he has the OP 'over a barrel' 
Personally, I would seek some free legal advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau regarding the legalities of the contract already signed and the subsequent 'found' damage, and if a solicitor feels the contract is legal and binding and the damage is now the responsibility of the new owner (the dealer) I would take the dealer to court...with a no win no fee solicitor.
Don't forget that a dealer is far more experienced than the OP in inspecting caravans he is about to purchase and should have done so thoroughly and found any faults before agreeing a deal.
On the other hand of course, if the OP tells the dealer he is refusing to pay £500 and wants his caravan back since the dealer is failing to honour the deal, then the dealer may well decide he would sooner foot the cost of repair and go ahead with the deal...or even come to a an agreement on the cost of repair which might be easier for the OP to accept.
I still feel the dealer is trying it on though, especially if he is a small dealer as £500 to him may be a good profit whereas a large dealership probably wouldn't worry too much.
Just call me sceptical
