Fresh Water overflow

Yahoo Message Number: 118230
We were using our washing machine last year when I noticed a water leak in the center of the coach in front of the drive wheels. It appeared to be coming out from an overflow tube. Not knowing the cause, we stopped using the washer. Today there it was again!!! This time nothing was being used. I shut off the water from the street and the leak stopped. Would this be an overflow from the water holding tank? I know that when the tank is being filled, the lights go out when full. Could this be a bad solenoid or something else.

Check to see if your fresh water refill valve is operating properly. If it is not shutting off the city water supply to your fresh water tank the tank will continue to fill, then overflow. This valve is low cost and an easy fix.

Richard are you sure it is not coming from your front roof air as that is where it should drain.

Richard, it's likely a failed backflow preventer on the pump. Failure of this check valve allows the fresh water tank to fill continuously as long as the city water is turn on.

Good luck.

Richard, on my 06 Intrigue, I was told that when filling the fresh water tank to let it fill until it runs out the overflow tubes.

The city fill valve is leaking. Try cycling it a few times to maybe clear out a piece of trash. If that does not work you'll need to replace it.

Yes Richard that is exactly where the overflow from my freshwater tank comes out. It only does that when I top off the tank by sticking a hose in the manual fill hole since the automatic shut off leads me 10 to 15 gallons short. As he said it's probably your shut off solenoid, assuming you're hooked up to city water.
