Zoltan, it sounds to me like someone switched the wires on the two fuse
holders that are behind the driver's seat.  The feed wires for both of
these fuse holders are red so it would be easy to do.  One supplies the
fridge and the other does everything else (water pump, panel, etc.).  It
sounds like the other stuff is running off of fridge power which only comes
available once the van is running thanks to a relay under the driver's
seat.  I would check the two power wires to see.  Just test them with a
meter.  One should be full time hot and the other will only be hot when the
van is running.  Put a black piece of tape on the fridge power wire so you
know which is which.  Now turn on the panel and touch the full time hot
power supply to first one fuse holder then the other.  The one that lights
up the panel is the correct one.  Hook the full time power to that and
everything should work as normal.  The other wire has to be the fridge,
relay controlled power.  Hope this helps.
