I hooked up the black water tank flusher and heard water spraying in the bath room. It appears to be a malfunction vacuum breaker/check valve. Water was running out of the port for the drain and eclectic . What concerns me most is the position of the electric distribution panel. It would have only been a short time before it was flooded, really close the the faulty valve. I have a 2011 MPG 183. Just a safety point to ponder.
I removed the valve and the rectangle black plastic top on the valve. A small ball moves up and down in the valve along with a spring mechanism with a plastic float. Anyway the ball was lodged against the valve wall and effectively wedge the valve open allowing the water to escape out the top of the valve. What caused the valve to stick, I don't know.
