I don't know whether we need a new one or not but when you turn the taps on the light for the water heater flashes off and on and a trickle of water comes out of the tap but the noise from the pump outside is a buzzing noise and clicks on and off even if the water tank is full outside please can someone help me as I am a newbie only got the van last year and only been away 7 or 8 times so if I need a new pump I will get one before we go away at easter thanks

Sometimes this happens because of an airlock. You need one person in the van and one at the pump to try this. Turn the pump off, remove pump from water and give a shack. Open one of the taps and put the pump back in the water and signal to turn pump back on. This should work providing it is not a more serious problem. The pump on my new van went after 6 months so anything is possible. Good luck.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
