Prudence or Paranoia?
I shut off my water to the TT every time we leave. I just don't trust the system to hold, and I certainly don't want to clean up a mess when I return. Is this unwarranted paranoia, or is it prudence? ...

I don't even use the city water connection. I always run off the on-board tank and pump. I never have to worry about leaks because if I hear the pump running with all faucets turned off I know I have a leak somewhere. Besides, it's so easy to just flip off the pump switch than turn off the city water spigot every time I leave the RV. And to boot, the water pressure is always the same...
Same here.
Had a toilet overflow once, flood was minor, but nonetheless gave us a reason to only have water pump on ... period.
Always turn off water spigot when leaving for a overnight, not for 6 hours of less though.
On our stix'n brix, yes, we turned off the water when going for the weekend or longer. Had two friends who had flooding when they went to Coast or California. Once friend had it twice, guess they never learned to turn off water at the main water valve, likewise the electric was switched off.
We tend to learn from others.
Cautious and Prudent .... rather than paranoid.
