water pump issue

When I try to use the water pump using water from the holding tank, water gushes out of the city water hook up and drains the tank.  Any ideas what' wrong?

city water hook up

What Scamp calls a pressure regulator is really a check valve. Yours is bad or has something stuck in it.(Walmart and Amazon also)  https://www.scamptrailers.com/product/city-water-inlet

Are you camping now?

If you carry a hose "Y" or shut off, put it on the inlet and turn it off.

Our Scamp came with a cap for

Our Scamp came with a cap for the city water connection. The valve used to work but now we just keep the cap on.

As already stated the city water check valve is stuck or damaged. I had to replace mine after I did not think about it when winterizing and it had enough water to freeze and damage. Usually Easy to replace and a common item. I have seen replacements at several camping /rv supply stores.  Or just put a cap in it and good to go and it stays clean that way too. Just a garden hose thread and size and not pipe size/thread
