No you can't run the electric pump off the mains because it is 12v only. The mains sockets in the van where lamps etc can be plugged in work from the main elerctricity supply, some lights will also work from this. Other things in the van need 12v from a battery. These will be the water pump and certain lights. The fridge will run off mains(240v), 12v (battery) or gas. The battery charger needs 240v to charge the battery.

You will need a battery to get full use of everything in your van.

Hope this helps.
