Water filter canister broke apart on its own
Luckily we were in the trailer when it happened. Boom. The canister completely fractured at the top and fell to the floor. Shut off the water, cleaned up the mess and ran a fan the rest of the day ...

...I know many people turn off the water every time they leave, and we are now joining that group. It was a clean break just beyond the threads. Pretty bizarre.
Do you have a good pressure regulator at the spigot? I have a Watts 283A and am comfortable enough to leave the water on when I am away from the RV for a few hours.
As for the failure of the filter - there was a thread on the Flagstaff forum where the filter housing "came off" from the head - more like walking back on the threads, as opposed to the break you described. The fix was to either change out the filter that came with the RV or put some other means of preventing the housing from unscrewing itself.
