Hi

all 3 mcbs work (we know this because they have been swapped around to test) there isn't power to the 3rd one that supplies power to the fridge, battery charger and water. The fuses are ok. Please advise.

    Sounds like a cabling fault in the control panel. Maybe a live or neutral wire loose between the isolator switch and the mcb or on the output terminal of the mcb. Modern vans tend to have double pole switches so both live and neutral are switched but on older vans it is the live only. Dont know whether the internal wiring is easily accessible on your model.

    Not sure whether you have any electrical experience but at the risk of stating the obvious, don't touch anything without totallly disconnecting the mains power from the van.

    Sounds strange that you have 'swapped the MCBs'  ?    Sounds even stranger when you then refer to fuses. Can you clarify please.?
