I am looking for a pump to replace this one.
I assumed I could simply buy a replacement & it would have the same physical fitting (the red threaded piece) that would screw into the hole in the tank.
Is that right, or do I have to buy a pump and then modify it to suit my tank ? I hope not. That seems crazy.
I still havent found one that looks the same, and I've gone through hundreds of images from google.
Given that Knaus is a German manufacturer, there is a likelihood that they fitted a Reich pump originally. Something like the one in this link:
<< Reich slim-line pump >>
The red connector is not part of the pump and should be re-sealed in place on the tank; you should use a sealing compound to seat it. I think the white plastic pipe linking the red connector to the pump in your picture is a DIY job. Have a look at the picture in the link below to see how this type of pump is fitted.
<< Pump installation >>
you could install an new non submersible pump into the pipework under a cupborard if you have room and a suitable 12v supply. thats what I dd in my autocruise when the submersible pump went. took about an hour.

The new reich pump ( Thanks for the pointer JeanLuc ) was a little different physically, so needed a bit of DIY cutting & glueing to end up with a similar setup.
(Surprised at this, thought Knaus would use an off-the-shelf part)
It is now fitted & works perfectly. I was a bit worried the pressure/flow may be different, but it seems identical, thankfully.
