Fresh water drain drip

My blue fresh water line under camper drips. I have a 328sb Zinger. Last week it dripped inside camper so i turned valve by the pump and now it drips outside. Weird thing is, i am hooked up at a permanent site and not even using the fresh water. Any help would be awesome.

Check where the water is coming from. might be as simple as the cap on the low point drain. But I'd be finding it and fixing it before the you a enclosed swimming pool in the underbelly if it's coming from a little further up, lol.

I wonder if the check valve is allowing water to by pass and filling your fresh water tank?

X 2 on what Lloyd said. Seems to be a few lately that are on permanent/ full hook ups with the same problem.

Unless there is a valve then the cap should be on. That is what keeps the water in and or drains the tank.

1) May just need drain valve replaced? or 2) CHECK VALVE IN PUMP maybe bad allowing FW TANK to fill from city water AND OVERFLOW? Rubber/ plastic valves do go bad. If white plastic, syspect you have to replace valve, if it has a BLACK T-HANDLE and stainless wire clip, maybe able to replace O-Rings?

Antifreeze suck tube dripping water

I have water dripping out of anrifreeze suck tube when taking a shower. The tube is under the drawer closer to the front than the shower. Any reason why it would do that. It also drips out a tube under the camper when i have the valve turned in the direction of my pump. I am stumped. I dont like leaks.

The valve in the antifreeze suction line should be closed when you are not adding antifreeze.

Antifreeze suction hose

When i have the check valve going in line with the pump it drains outside then. Why is water coming out of either of these places? Either outside or inside it leaks. Doesnt make any .sense. it ahould just be to pump antifreeze. Thats all.

One thing to consider is maybe one or more of those valves are shot. Stands to reason if you turn a valve off, there shouldn't be any more liquid going thru that line.
