What to do if your toilet tank is losing water?
If you see that water is dripping down from the very bottom of the toilet tank, start by checking the locknut. Tighten if it is necessary. If tightening does not work, empty the tank and clean the area surrounding it. Check to make sure the washer on the fill valve is functional.
Why is my black water tank always closed?
Always leave the valve closed on the black water tank, even when you’re hooked up at an RV site.

Why is water draining from tank overflow when hooked to city water?
Usually if you are on city water and water is coming out of the fresh water tank gravity flow, that means the check valve is not working or stuck that prevents back flow when hooked up to city water. I’m not sure where that would be on your 16 MaxS. It’s usually near the pump, in the pump filter screen area or inside the city water connection.
