Thank you, first then the elements are least likely to be at fault, certainly I've never changed one!
Far more likely then is one of the two limit thermostats, these being located in the cover plate over the element connections and visible, (but not accessible), just behind the gas fires flue pipe.
The electric heating control box is behind the fire and you can test the stats here between, 1, the blue and green wires, and 2, the pair of black wires. (not with a mega though!)
What is fairly common is for one of these stats to break up and allow one of it's wires to touch earth so tripping the RCD, or later by moving the van and the wire hang in space with no circuit.
