Jesus this was like an episode of Colombo 
I used to work on an IT service desk so I'm used to troubleshooting stuff - the key is eliminating as many variables as possible and starting with the basics. I had a hunch it was going to be either the main fuse or isolator switch!Jesus this was like an episode of Colombo
Similar to @TallPaul_S the DayJob is mostly figuring out what people actually mean/want from what they say
Also shows why, even if it seems daft, it's always a good idea to take pictures. To be honest I've sometimes taken them of my own stuff I'm having trouble with, sometimes sitting down with a picture and a cuppa you see something you don't when you're standing next to it.

I've moved on from having to deal with end users now, thank Christ! But the troubleshooting skills still remain.Similar to @TallPaul_S the DayJob is mostly figuring out what people actually mean/want from what they say

The users are fine compared to the folks running the projects and asking you fill out endless RFIs and RFPs. They're usually brilliant at tying up your time but rather less brilliant at actually noticing the invoice...
Has that pulled out of a crimp or a terminal? Either way it doesn’t look like it was ever done up very tight. I’d suggest getting someone (or you) to give the system a good look over and check all the connections are tight and secure.
Thanks appreciated but it was a forum team effort as usual.
Now go and enjoy using the van at what it's best at and have a good holiday

I think that has a filter on so maybe check that's not picked up any debris.
Also, sounds obvious, but there's sufficient water in the tank?

If it was working before you started the previous issues diagnostics it’s highly likely that you’ve disconnected something, maybe a fuse back in the wrong position?New problem I’m afraid. Pump (Aqua 8) now not working!
You easily check the supply voltage at the taped up block connector. You can easily attach a separate temporary 12v supply to the same connector to see if the pump runs.
About a 1% chance that a blocked filter is preventing flow unless you’ve been putting rice in the water tank!
That’s a very complex water system for a small van, it’s possible to use a submersible pump and a switch tap and free up all that space for storage.
Tbh that shows, it's a much beefier system than you normally see in a small van - but to start ripping some of that out to replace with smaller items would be a massive pain - it really looks like a properly well put together system ( ignoring the loose connections!).
It might be worth starting another thread with all the specs and lots of pics of the system. We love pics! And perving over other people's electrics!

if this is a water drain there appears to be some serious kinking in the pipe that needs sorting - will be easy to block
