[VAL] city water connection leak



 Hello all: After I use the 69 Tradewind connected to city water and I have switched 
back over to the water tank, the connection leaks enough to make the water pump come 
on. This leak is a steady drip from the connection that will gradually drain the water 
tank. Isn't there a valvue in there that suppose to shut once you are off city water? 
If there is, its not working. Any ideas on how to fix this (replace the valvue?) or 
other fixes? I have had to resort to forcing a cork stopper into the water intake pipe 
and then screwing the cap over the stopper. This at least stops the leak enough to not 
drain the water tank. Thanks for any suggestions.
