pump issue
I am hooked to city water but pump runs when I turn on the water. water line valves are in correct positions. this started yesterday at another campsite I though it may have been a water pressure problem. it is the same today at a different campground. what could cause this?

You have the water pump turned on while you are on city water. It is best to turn the pump off at the electrical switch when you are on city water.

If the pump switch is off and pump is running, then pump switch is defective....
