Electrics issue

The ultrastore water heater on our 2005 Coachman Amara has been making some bubbling sounds lately when getting to temperature (can't remember hearing it before). We'd been out for the day yesterday and when we got back we turned it off. Unfortunately, it won't turn back on. We also found that the fridge, heater and 3 mains sockets have no power either. None of the rcd's tripped and I've checked all fuses and they're fine too. Very odd. My first thought was that the maybe the element had packed in, but surely that shouldn't affect anything else. Did some googling and it mentions a possible earthing or wiring issue which would shut down the main circuit for safety reasons. The lights and water pump are working fine so I'm stumped. I've had a look at the wiring etc and can't see anything obvious.
Anyone else had the same issue ?
Cheers

Lights and pump will be 12v and therefore able to run off the caravan battery while it has charge without mains supply.
The water temperature should be limited to 65 or 70C so definitely not bubbling hot if that is what you have heard.

My feeling is the ultrastore has probably packed in but I won't know until I take to the garage. It's definitely odd that the electrics won't work though.
