Silly question, but is the power switched to VAN ? You may have additional switches for pump and auxiliary too

possible fuse has blown or your battery is flat.check battery should be 12.7 volts if fully charged.or test it at a garage.

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

thank-you all for your reply's.
My late husband did all the electrics,in our old van,and I knew how it all worked,but since we sited,we bought a large van,I have not been able to sort the battery electrics out.
our Abbey Spectrum is sited,so the switch is always on caravan.on the control panel,the only lights that are on are,mains,battery,and the charger.the battery was charged at home,then fitted in on arrival,this still reads fully charged.none of the switchies have tripped out in the fuse box,and I am not sure how to get the fuse out,to change it.

The trip switches are for the 240 volt side. The 12 volt fuses are like the ones in a car. Small, push in items. Probably 10 amps in which case they will be red.

if the fuse box is just for the 240 volt side,I have no idea where they could be.There is no inline fuse from the battery,and we have looked everywhere,for a fuse box for the 12 volts

there is usually a fuse marked battery in the distribution box (fuse box) but there is also an inline fuse between the fuse box & the battery this usually located around the back of the battery box. with this blown you will hve no 12v only 240v
