It might be worth posting this on a self build forum or a more specific motorhome forum like motorhomefacts for example.

IME taps in motorhomes tend to be pretty poor quality and not easily repaired. You’ll probably get some advice/help from the guys on the Motorhome & Campervan Technical Advice group on Facebook.

these taps usually start and stop the electric water pump and have a small switch inside.
They are notoriously difficult to repair, i believe they have a ceramic face to face seal,
again cannot be repaired but possibly it just needs a new o ring.
They are not expensive - around £36 and easy to change.
The non switch type are around £22
