I run a Victron 20 amp Blue Smart IP22 Charger on our van, but nowhere in the manual or on the Victron website can I find what mains current it draws.
Is there a rule of thumb or ball park figure that I can expect it to be drawing when it is pushing out it's 20 amp max ?

20 amps at say 14.4 volts is around 300W so at 240 volts that's about 1.2 amps.

a
direct conversion is 288w / 1.2 amps as DBK says but probably 1.5 by the time you've added in a spoonful of efficiency loss as well.
