I wouldn't bother with remoulds, even if they still do them. For the size you want a budget tyre will be about £30 fitted & balanced & £40 odd for mid range.

Reading this thread with interest as it looks like they are wk 08 yr 03 so need to replace them. They are 155/80 R13 79T. Do I get car or van tyres for a 950kg caravan? Silly question I am sure but do I just drive up to the tyre place with the caravan the way you do with a car and get them put on or are ther special caravan tyre places?
Spot the new caravanner! lol

Some get e tyres which is a mobile fitting service to come to them. Otherwise rather than have to reverse caravan into tyre depot, remove wheels at home, leave on axle stands & take wheels to tyre depot. Ensure wheels are balanced & new valves fitted as when you have tyres fitted to your car.
The tyres you have are insufficient load rating but caravan speed is only half that of actual tyre speed rating & 'van is probably not be loaded to max so you have been ok.
I would go for 165/80X13 car tyres which are rated X2 at 950kg or 165/80X13C van tyres if you like. Slightly fatter but should fit under wheel arches ok.
