Hi Mysty g , the bit you think is the filter sounds like the water pump to me , the wires going to it are to supply the power to turn the pump .
Have a look here http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/water_pumps.html and see if you can see anything like yours .

  Thanks wizard   .......doh stupid me yes it is the pump bit.

 I have looked on loads of sites for pumps ....but nothing looks like the one i have got . Maybe it's the original pump that came with the van ...who knows .

  Anyway it looks similar to all the ones advertised ........ie long blue flat hose ...... but the pump looks different . and it has a bigger blue flange  on it .....plus it does not look as if it is a plug in type .....more like it is wired into the van itself....... maybe it's because it's a foreign make ..........also  when the pump switch was put in the on position  in the caravan .......there was no noise coming from it like you get when the water barrel is empty..........but then again my other caravan was a foot operated one so maybe they don't sound the same......sorry if it all sounds double dutch to you............i am not very tecno minded

the pump on your van is the old type thames pump. if you look into the housing where you store you pump you will see a white plug held in with 3 screws where the hose meets with the housing. release the screws and you can remove the plug from the housing release the 2 wires then all you need to do is buy a new truma maxi pump put you existing hose to it fit the plug of your original and refit back in situ.

    Thanks  Kevin.
