Water build up underbelly

We moved our camper into driveway, it's a 2012 copper canyon 324, hooked water to it and plugged it in last night. Today we noticed that the front left corner was wet and the ground was soaked. To wet to assume it was ac dripping, we looked under neath and the panel underneath was bowing..FULL of water. We took panel off and floor ( plywood) between tanks is wet. It's overwhelming!! Any suggestions? Line cracked? Toilet? Hot water heater? Any possibility it could be roof? The inside of the camper isn't wet. When the hose is hooked to it, it sounds like the water is constantly running.

Since you can hear it you need to run that down. Obviously, it can be anything that has water in it under pressure. The sound should lead you to the source of the water problem.

I had a similar thing happen on my other off topic travel trailer. What happened was pressurized city water back feed itself to the fresh water tank via the water pump check valve. When fresh water tank finally became full it began to over flow from the vent. That then trickled back into the trailer.

This may be a long shot and don't be insulted by my suggestion, but are you sure you connected your hose to the fresh water input and not the black tank rinse line? (I've done that myself before after a season in storage.)

Regardless, my unit does exactly what you're talking about if I let the gray water tank over fill. My last 5wh backed up in the shower but this one just runs over into the underbelly and then runs on to the ground.

Somewhere you have a bad check valve, a split line or a joint that has become disconnected. The sound should let you know or at close to the source of the problem. Once you narrow it down a little, get back to us. Lots of good help here.
Sorry for the circumstances, but Welcome to the forum from Kansas City, MO!
