your likely issue is a "black water tank cleanout flush" system installed somewhere and turned on / broken valve.... OR a broken toilet valve / wand.

you sure your fresh water supply isn't hooked to a black tank rinser instead of fresh water inlet ?

This is what I'm wondering. In 96 I'm not sure if the tank flushers were standard like they are on some RV's now, but one could have been added.
Are you sure that your hose is connected to the city water inlet and not to a black tank flush. If the black tank flush is left on too long and the black tank handle closed the black tank is filling up. It's a common practice when someone wants to get the tank really clean, but it can backfire if they forget and overfill the tank and then the mess happens just like you describe.
You may have still had water pressure at the sinks if you had water in your fresh tank and were running the RV's water pump.

I'm betting black water got filled up. Last person using it filled it so full that the toilet valve hung open because of blockage. That is why your water quit overflowing when the water supply was cut off.

What a mess. We use our travel trailer at our recreational property primarily for the fridge, restroom and microwave.
Well this past weekend we had our annualfamily picnic with about 50 people.
Had the water system set for city water and hooked to my well pump. At the end of the day one of the kids runs out of the trailer and says the toilet is overflowing.
Long story short, evidently the city water inlet allows incoming water to run into the gray tank, when that filled then it filled the black tank and kept pumping water up thru the toilet when it was flushed.
Fortunately most of the water that dumped on the floor was fresh.
This trailer was bought used for this season so no history available.
Any suggestions on causes or fixes?
