Over filling Fresh Water Tank

Question: City water is overfilling the fresh water tank.
Answer: With this limited information, it is difficult to offer much advice. Your RV should have a valve that you open to fill the tank and close when the tank is full. If you have closed the valve and the tank is overfilling, then it seems you have a bad valve that needs to be replaced or repaired.

 Back-Flow Preventer
by: Anonymous

Your house water tank uses an electric pump, which contains a back-flow preventer so that pressure from the city water hookup does not go into the house fresh water tank and overflow it as yours does. Your pump's back flow preventer is apparently bad or jammed open with debris.

You can repair the pump, replace the pump, or add an additional in-line back flow preventer, or simply use a manual valve between the city water and the house water.
