      Make and model of camper, and what do you mean by OVERFLOW? Do you mean the air vent for the fresh water tank? If you have the power fill option from the control panel (nautilus) double check your valve settings. If it's an older unit, the tanks are known to syphon for a bit, I burp my tank by opening the main drain for a second after I fill it to ensure that it does not do this.

      There is an off chance that you have a leaking check valve in the pump or a bad valve in the control panel.

            Going to need a little more info.

            Where is the water flowing out of?

            Where is the clicking noise coming from? Is the furnace running or not?

              If by "leave the water turned on", Chapman, you mean you're on shore water supply, then check the position of valves on the Nautilus. One of them, usually the black handle on my board, is not fully over or is bad and water is continuing to leak into the freshwater tank, then out the overflow/air vent.

              If not on shore water, then serious siphoning problem. See Howard's comment above.

              No idea about the clicking. Most reports of clicking have nothing to do with the water system, usually related to propane or electrical issues.

                This is a Transcend. It does not have the Nautilus P1 Panel.

                Chapman

                Your Transcend will be equipped with a panel that has a blue valve that can be rotated from "Fresh Tank Fill" to "City Water".

                Make sure the blue valve is rotated to "City Water" if you are trying to run from a hose, and not the tank.

                  Check to make sure you water pump is off when on city water. That could be the click your hearing. Otherwise check the power bus bar to see if it is a resetable breaker. (where battery attaches)

                    One other thing is to turn off the city water before turning the handle. This may help ensure the valve turns properly.

                    Once you get the valve cycled a few times, burp the holding tank main drain to stop the vent from siphoning. Finally turn the city water back on and observe the vent for overflow.
