On our camping trip last weekend - while connected to camp water - I noticed that I had water dripping under the rear of the coach. I had not filled up the onboard water tanks yet this year as everywhere we've gone has camp water available.. When breaking camp and retracting the jacks, a major gush of water came out. After arriving home and looking at the tanks under the bed - I discovered the water tank was filled. Apparently the autofill decided it was time to fill the tanks and it did. What I was seeing was overflow. Very interesting since the autofill has never worked since I've owned the unit... Gremlins at work, I guess

Try cycling the autofill switch on and off a half dozen times, or so. I did that to mine when I had the same condition, & it works fine now.

If I may politely disagree with Olroy, I would replace it.

These solenoids are problematic, and fail quite often. I had the same thing happen to me, and almost had heart failure down at Disney when I saw the puddle.

You can replace the solenoid, which will basically start the clock on its life again, or you can just replace it with a manual valve.

Yeah, it is not as nifty as switching a buttong and letting it alone, but it IS foolproof...

Cycling the switch my get a few more days/months out of it, but it is obviously on the way out..

A little vinegar will dissolve the lime inside the valve and extend the time between failures.
