Hi all,I am new to this so please bear with me!

I have a 2008 swift charisma 620 and we have had this from new. The van has hardly seen much use and has been well cared for. Today I have picked up the van ready for a trip on thursday and on arriving home I promptly connected up to the mains, all done in the right sequence. I went in the house for 10 minutes and whilst in there the sockets rcd tripped! this directed me back out to the van immediatley!

On entering the van I noticed a slight burning smell and looked at the control panel to see the 'plug' icon was no longer lit. The 240v sockets still work as does the fridge on 240v although this has to have the charger switch in the on position. Am I right in thinking the charger is now duff? It is a Nordelecttrica  NE143-p and I cannot find any blown fuses and the vans trip or breakers are all good too.,

Hope someone can help cheers
