Interesting thread.
We made it a habit a long time ago to turn off the water pump and/or city water when we leave the trailer and lately I was thinking of installing a 12 Volt motorized ball valve on the city water connection with a switch on the control panel by the entrance door.
The last thing anyone needs is a flooded trailer, think about it the systems in a trailer or any RV for that matter are constantly under stress and are not of the same build quality as in a house.

Whenever we leave the camper, the campground water is shut off. Very seldom, if ever, turn the water pump on except to fill the wh when we're getting ready to go camping and it is shut off immediately.

I was thinking about something like this wired into the control center with a switch right beside the water pump switch, so it can't be missed when leaving the trailer.

Well, we checked the bowl last night and it was filled back up to about 1/3 full! We haven't checked the seal yet, but with this extra amount that means we've had a total of about 4 gallons back in the bowl since we parked it three weeks ago! I supposed all of that could have come from the lines and, if so, we'll just have to be better about clearing the lines when we leave. But, it sure does still seem like a LOT of water to me. I'll let ya'll know if/when we find out anything definite about what was going on. Thanks again for all your input.

UNPLUG the water pump down @ the pump! The pump has to be stuck in the on position for this to happen! NO OTHER WAY FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING!

I don't disagree- I would definitely disconnect the water pump.
But I'm still left wondering- where in the heck could the water be coming from?

Silly old man , that's where it is going. Where is it coming from?
If there isn't a water connection and the fresh water tank is empty, where is 3-4 gallons of water coming from?
Unless the check valve for the pump has gone bad and allowed the fresh water tank to fill unexpectedly. To the OP- are you 100% positive the fresh water tank is empty?

Well,you silly young whippersnapper, common sense says it is coming from the freshwater tank and the only way it gets into the toilet is by either from the city water connection or by the water pump.
Sheesh! The nerve of some people's kids!

If your other half is a joker and is playing a little trick on you, it's a pretty good trick. Or, your trailer could be haunted.

Well, Mr. RV, there is only one water line hooked to the toilet valve and that water line is hooked to the freshwater tank via the water pump and also the city water connection. IF there is no city water connection, it has to come from the freshwater tank.
But, I bow to your experience.

I'm not being argumentative- I'm just confused if the OP believes that their fresh water tank is empty AND they stated that the city water connection wasn't hooked up, I don't see where the water could have come from. I'm just perplexed, that's all.
I still think you're right with what is next (and likely the problem)- the next troubleshoot/debugging step I would take would be to completely disable the water pump. Something is pushing water up into that bowl and that would be the only thing to do it without a city water connection.
I also think the OP should double-check their fresh water tank (open the drain) to see if water comes out. It sounds like to me that water unexpectedly got into there.

As I said, I'm just perplexed as to where the water is coming from with out the OP started the thread. I agree that it had to come from somewhere and that campers get water from 1 of 2 places. Just it contradicts the OP's original statement.
I dunno, as you say- I'm outta here.

It rained last night and the grass got wet, I wonder if the water that got the grass wet came from the sewer? Same logic.
