When the water pump turns on by itself.
We started out this week long trip at a state park with just an electric hook-up. Not long after settling in, I hear the water pump kick in, even though no one is using water. My spidey senses alert...

Great example of why I pretty much only use my onboard water and pump when 'camping'.. Even at sites with water hookups..
Been doing this for the last 20 years.. :)
I know stuff can happen while on the road too, but I always do my 'driveway' tests before leaving for a trip. Get all the services going a day or two before and monitor.
I will switch the pump off, let is sit over night and switch it back on. If it runs, then I'll start looking around, but so far, it does not trigger, so I know it's all tight.
It's also that the pumps 'valve' could be weak and just letting water/pressure go back to the tank... But, never hurts to check the lines where you can find them and the toilet is usually the first place to look.
Good catch cbshoestrig!
