1) I liked the flow meter solution, do tell us if you can extend the wires easily. 2) You can buy a pump motor only, for just over £20 IME. This is UK d-i-y!

I had assumed a non submersible pump, with an indoor self priming pump with a pressure switch etc.

Depending upon the battery voltage and pressure switch setting, there is another fault condition where it fails to reach enough pressure to switch off. I considered fitting a little sounder myself, but never got as far as looking for a suitable one.
My (very) old previous van had a much more substantial inboard pump, which was clearly audible.

So did I, it will be a very neat solution if it works out OK.
You can, but this is a modular system with a special high capacity pump.

Chris J Dixon explained on 29/04/2015 :
Lots of 12v piezo sounders about, mine is just tacked across the pins at the back of the plug where it goes out through the wall. A bit of blue tack over the hole in the sounder, helps control the noise. The pump in the barrel is inaudible, even when it is running with an empty barrel. Having splashed out £60 on the pump and had it run dry once, I was keen not to repeat the experience, so I slapped the sounder across it quite. The flow of water to some extent limits the temperature rise of the pump.
One of the down-sides to an inboard pump.
