Water leak from hose connection with no hose connected

An issue has come up on our '18 3660RL that I'm trying to work through and wanted to ask you all. We're currently off-grid after being on connections for quite a while. We filled our fresh water tank and now, when the normal/fill valve is in the "normal" position, water is constantly dripping out of the hose connection port. If I put the valve in the "fill" position, the dripping stops. I thought it was related to the water pump (and maybe it actually is) but regardless of pump being on and pressure being relieved from the system, the drips keep coming. Thoughts?

Sounds to me that either some grit is caught in the check valve or it's failed for some reason. The back part of the connector (behind the convenience wall) is a check valve to prevent that from happening. Since the rig is new, it's a warranty issue, but not hard or very expensive to fix on your own.

Sounds like Valve failure to me as well.

Thanks, yes, that appears to be what the issue was. I removed the screen and fiddled with the valve. It appears whatever was keeping it open got flushed when I was messing with it since the dripping seems to have stopped. Glad it was something simple!
