Do you have a button hand brake , or a button less one .

This is how i understand the brake system to work .
With a button one you need to add a bit of force to make the hand brake point straight up , the reason for this is, the force compresses the spring cylinder ( also called energy tube ), the spring cylinder stores energy to ensure the hand brake still functions should the caravan roll backwards , normally when the wheels rotate backwards the brakes are released ( eg when reversing ) , the spring cylinder over comes the reversing effect and reapplys the brakes.
With a button less hand brake the spring force is done by a compressed strut .

If your hand brake is moving a couple of clicks when towing i would have thought your break away cable is a little tight , or the handbrake is catching the fairing .

Did you re-check the adjustment of the spring cylinder gap after doing the brake drum adjustment .
