Hi All
I have previously used both my fresh water supply options without any problems - for several weeks. That is, hooked up to city water, and from my fresh water tank with water pump working. I recently traveled with about 1/3 tank of fresh water and used it for 3 days/nights without problem. Wednesday, I hooked up to city water at the campground here in Rapid City, SD, at Americas Mailbox, where I'm staying while doing the domicile state thing, and visiting Black Hills. I came back Friday evening after being gone for 6-7 hours, and my fresh water fill port was leaking water all over the place. I opened the plug, and nothing actually seems to flow out, but it's like it's leaking around the housing, down the rig, and onto the ground. I turned off the city water supply, and the leaking stopped. That's the first strange thing. Second strange thing is that the fresh water tank monitor now shows it FULL, even though I should have less than 20 gallons in the tank (80 gal capacity).
There is no switch I'm aware of that allows the fresh water tank to fill from the city supply input port.
I've left the city supply turned off, and have been using the fresh water tank/water pump without incident, but I don't understand HOW the city supply filled my fresh water tank!!! Oh, and yes, I do have things hooked up to the correct fill ports. There is a water pressure reducer on the city supply spigot. Pretty sure things here work as they should as the Americas Mailbox owners live on-site in a Class A (at least currently).
What is this newbie missing here? Anybody know what's going on?
Many thanks
Linda
