Water leak, help

We just found water under our dining table on a 2017, 21
It was along the back wall. A little under driver side seat .we are hook to city water. Used pump for a minute. It happened quickly and enough water that it took 3 towels to dry it. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Look under the bench, the water pump and hot water heater are down there. If there is a substantial leak you may be able to spot where it is coming from, perhaps a loose or broken connection or the clear plastic filter cap on the top of the water pump. If the leak is in the hot water heater you can bypass it using the two plastic bypass valves and drain it outside and then at least have cold water for the remainder of your trip.

If you can spot where it's leaking and are unfamiliar with the parts / components, take a photo and post here and others can more easily provide advice and assistance.

Not supposed to do that when hooked to city water. I don't know why. It's just what I read in the manual.

We thought that too. But where did the water come from?
