Ok I have a random one, I recently had my Westy painted (82 AC) and I took off all the camping hookups. I reinstalled new gaskets after paint and now when I go to turn on my faucet, the water drain out of the City hook up. What did I do? I did not even touch the drain area.

It's your facet that's faulty, the switch may be messed up or something is sticking inside.

If you never use the city water hook up you can always stick a small cork in the hole to plug it.

How would the faucet do that? Does it think I am filling it up with city water when I turn it off?
