Insurance does not come into the picture at all.
In an accident you might be claiming for damage to your car & possibly there would be third party claims, you are covered for this without caravan insurance which is not a legal requirement. However if you did not have a licence to cover the outfit you were driving then presumably the damage part would be void if not the third party cover so you would risk being £1000s out of pocket at very least.
As pointed out earlier, in this case you have to mainly fear the insurance assessor if you were not correctly licenced.

As long as you don`t go on a motorway...........
You CAN drive on the motorway with "L" plates on......you already have a full (Cat B) licence.
The B+E test uses motorways as part of the test route (where practical)
Not so....
the OP may well have a Cat "B" licence, but your driving licence makes clear that for other classes to which you are not entitled it serves as a provisional licence. As the OP would be driving in accordance with the requirements of a "B+E" licence for which she is not entitled, her licence would only be "provisional" for that class. As such, she would be prohibited from driving on the motorway.
The government did bring in some legislation last year which took effect in 2012 aimed at making motorway driving safer which permits "L" drivers (which the OP would be if driving the outfit as described) to drive on motorways under the supervision of qualified instructors, which is why authorised trainers can take B+E students on motorways. Unless the OPs partner is a qualified instructor, she would be breaking the law driving the outfit on a motorway and would not have insurance.
Sorry Angus, Wrong.
B+E "L" drivers can go on a motorway as (a) you actually do have a full licence & (b) you're a learner for a sub category of that main licence (Cat B).
I was, for 20 years, an ADI & regularly took B+E learners on the motorway.
