There is a check valve in the water pump that is supposed to keep water from flowing back into the fresh water tank when you're on city water pressure. Yours is leaking. Very common,
First try cycling the check valve to see if you can clear it. Turn off the city water. Turn on the water pump and run some water through. Turn off the pump, turn on the city water again and run some water. Repeat a few times. 

It that doesn't work you will need to pull the pump. Its not a hard job. A rebuild kit is about $12-$15. Or, you can buy a new pump for about $60.

	RPOD 180 question. Thanks in advance for more wisdom. I'd be lost without this forum. I rarely travel with water in my fresh water tank because of the weight, the affect on gas mileage, and, because I'm close to my wallet and hate to spend money foolishly...the increased cost of gas. So with that in mind, after camping for four nights and using the city water hookups, I was checking the control panel and the fresh water tank indicated that it was 2/3 full. Scratched my head because I intentionally didn't put water in the tank and subsequently drained it at a rest stop. How did it get in there?
