Hi Anita,
Just had the same problem on my old Elddis Autoquest. My taps are plastic comet mixers with a removable spout replaceable with a shower pipe. A drip meant pressure loss and intermittent pump activation.
The problem is a diagonal o ring on the tap shaft incompletely shutting off the supply as the tap turns, due to wear or fracture. Although a piffling fault I dont think the unit can be easily dismantled and you may need new taps. Hope this is of use.

Could be an airlock, Try opening hot tap on 2 sinks at once (make sure plenty of water in aquaroll first) which often clears this.
Could be a leak letting in air between tap and bathroom tap. turn on tap - look for leaks under van.
Last but not least could be faulty tap - you can normally change just insert to fix this.
