Outside water going straight through and out drainage hose!!?

I have a 2018 micro mini. The water filter I had on my hose busted, so I removed it and plugged the hose back into my camper. The water is coming in to the camper and straight out the front drainage hose under my water heater..no water leakage inside yet..any suggestions??? Please help..

Not sure what you're describing but you have an onboard 31 gallon water tank, and an onboard water pump. The pump has a switch inside where you can access it, probably labeled 'Pump'. Disconnect the shore water for now, fill the tank from the outside fill, then use the pump switch to turn the water on only when needed. Off the rest of the time. Gives time to figure out what's going wrong.

This may be a dumb question but can I use my hot water heater while the fresh water tank is full and no shore water? I need to shower..

Absolutely. Try to take a 'Navy Shower'...ie, wet down, shut off the water, soap up, turn on the water to rinse. Then do the hair the same way. Don't take showers as often. You only have 31 gallons. Also, that water goes into the grey tank, so be conservative with water usage.

My guess is that the water is leaking past a check valve and into your fresh water tank, which is now full and the water is coming out the tank overflow.
