Simply turning the pump on may dislodge the particle that is causing the check valve to leak.
Exactly.....
2016 RV so most likely plastic debris from fresh water tank/pump installation
Use pump for water needs instead of city water and use up the WHOLE fresh water tank.
Then swap back to city water-----disconnect suction line on pump and see if it still is back-flowing thru pump
If it still is.......warranty/replace pump
OR
buy a $15 in-line check valve and install it in suction line.
(Shuflo makes an in-line)
Cheaper/easier then pump rebuild
