Ok, arrived at campsite yesterday around three, hooked up and had water on. It has been on the whole time connected to the freshwater connection. Noticed around 10am they tanks were getting full.. Do I have a leak? I leave the grey valve open and I hear rushing through the sewer valvle, turn off fresh water supply and it stops...

Bad check valve at the water pump would be my first guess.

I am even more confused now. How can the freshwater system be spilling into the gray water tank? This is not possible on my TT.

Also, the fresh water pump is running even when we do not demand water...

that would be consistent with a pressure leak in the water pump. I'm a TAD bit confused though about why you would have the pump turned on when hooked up to pressure water.

First arrived had city water hooked up. Pump off. Heard water going through grey water drain. I turn off the city water, I do not hear water flowing through the grey water valve. I switched to the on board water tank. At first the pump was kicking on and off very quickly. So I shut the pump off and turn it on until I need it. Some time went by and I left the pump on and it did started to behave correctly, turn on when we turn on faucet.
Wen we had the hose on city water, we noticed a water on the floor inside the camper where the city hook up would be, is there a overflow to the city hookup that could be clogged? Also if the check valve is bad and the water just continue to flow it goes into an overflow into the grey water tank?

That is where I am confused.. When I am hooked up to city water it spills in grey water tank even when I do not have a faucet opened.
We are having to use our fresh water supply turn the pump on when we need water.

Probably a stupid idea but might the hose be connected to the tank flush vs the city connection?
That still leaves the pump behavior unexplained.

How long have you had the camper?Is this your 1st trip with it?
Could it be too much water pressure from the city supply?

Yep first camping trip.. I put a regulator on city water. I was fine for the first 14 hours on city water. Then the grey tank was getting full quickly. Thought one of the boys left a faucet running. Then wife noticed a puddle of water on the ground on the side where the city hook up is located. Afraid I would have a busted pipe, I filled up the fresh water tank and using water that way. I am going to look at the check valve to make sure it is not faulty. I have water connected at my house testing the system with no issues.
