Found another problem yesterday evening when I tried to hook up to a Outside water supply. On the Coach, just above the water connection but on the unit itself, there is a small what I will refer to as a p hole. When I connected the hose and turned on the water (I also opened the faucets inside the coach) water came out of the P hole. I waited for the air to clear but the P hole never stopped spraying a stream.
Even when I opened the faucet in the kitchen the P hole had water coming out of it. Any suggestions?

To clarify the location of the P hole, it is less than 1 inch above the hose connection right beside the top screw that holds the whole business to the coach.

Could it be your anti-siphon valve is not allowing the water to pass
into the tank and is coming out of the pee hole(overflow hole)? Is it
dripping or really peeing out of the hole?

All the P holes I've seen look different.

Richard,
That is a weep hole for the regulator on the Shurflow inlet. If you
are getting any water out that vent then the regulator diaphragm has
failed inside the Shurflow assembly. They do wear out over the years
and the rubber gets old. It is not repairable and you need to replace
the unit. They are not expensive and can be found at most RV Stores.
