I have just returned from holidays and during the trip, found a small issue relating to plumbing/ water tanks that I need to address.
I left home with my tanks 50% full at the start of the trip. Whilst travelling, i used the water pump to access the water during stops. At my first destination, i hooked up the main water supply to the van and then turned the water pump switch off.
Over the course of the next 48hrs, the two tanks filled to capacity with water dribbling out of the breather.
I assume that there must be some sort of non-return valve in the plumbing lines separating the main water inlet and the tanks- is this correct and where would I find it? Does anybody have any other ideas as to how this is occurring and what people have done to stop it from happening. I am considering relocating the incoming water supply to bypass the existing system merging it further away from the tanks but that is a big job if I don't need to.
