hello!

So until I have her, I need to keep myself busy..

Turns out there's two solar panels on the van, and no sign of an independent solar controller. This board does have a button, beside which there is a picture of a solar panel.. is that likely to be it or is it something else altogether?

Even sticking that into Google isn't giving me much!

My Autotrail had the solar regulator installed behind the Sargent PSU. You couldn’t see it without taking stuff apart.

No but it will direct you to the Benimar owners clubs where you can ask someone to direct you to a manual for you're year and model.
There is YouTube videos of what look like newer model's by looking at the symbols you may be able to figure what's what .try posting a close-up of the center part with the row symbols and the gauge someone may be able to tell what each is.

I think there's a stack of manual in the van... The previous owners were the type of people that had labels made for the likes of the buttons for the electric step etc and there were two folders full of documents, but wont have them for a couple of weeks.

This may help.
Try this it has a good description but no picture/ schematic drawing, if you look at the panel and read the description you should be able to figure everything out.
