If its an omnidirectional aerial on the van its almost certain you will need the aerial amplifier switched on. These are normally a white plastic box with coax going in and coming out of. There will be a couple of switches and LEDs on it.
Not sure where they located it on your van but the wardrobe would be a good starting point or at some point below the aerial but inside the van.

This would be a good starting point to see if you can get a picture. Come back if this doesn't resolve the problem

How many aerial points are there in the van?

If there are more than one, have you tried them all?

OK.
Turn on your 12v system and have a look/fell on the top left of the aerial booster, there should be a recessed button, give it a press.
I must admit, I admit I only found mine recently.
