Has anyone had a fresh water tank seem to fill on it'own. My2016 bouncer was reading 1/3 I looked later in the day it was full. I am on city water at West point. This happened twice. Last night it was on 1/3 and was still there this morning. Has that happened to anyone? Do I have water gremlins? Thanks. Gordon

It's usually an issue with a bad check valve. We had the same issue on 5-r we owned. Had the check valve replaced & the fresh would no longer fill when on city water.

Gordon, you can review this forum topic from a bit ago. It describes our similar problem.

The check valve will pop an o ring if you turn your hose water and then turn the valve to the proper position. It happened to me and had to replace the valve. Was shown to first turn the valve into position and then open your water hose, no problem since.
Mine was a bad check valve in the water pump. When on campground water it allowed a small amount of water to flow backwards through the pump and slowly fill the water tank. I replaced pump for about $70 ordered on Amazon.
