FResh Water Overflow Tube Leaks

I have a 2021 Precept 29V. I have recently developed a problem where my fresh water overflow tubes leak while driving. It happens more noticeably when making left turns. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mine wasn't the same as that. I found when I filled it to full, it would start to siphon the water out and actually drew it down until I lost a good 1/3 of my water. I ended up putting in a shut-off in order to save my water.

I have to be very, very, very careful with this. If I ever don't open it while I'm filling and overfill the tank, it could lead to it rupturing or even pushing the floor up above it. This is a very dangerous option that many decide to go with.

Thanks man. I think I'm gonna go with a similar set up. I'm gonna put a note on my fill to remember to open valves when filling and hope all ends well. I appreciate your help.

Don't forget to open them before drawing any water from that cank. Think implosion.

I like the idea of no valve and just running the vent line up above water line.

After 5 stores I found some valves. Should be an easy fix. Stay tuned.

so you are going to travel with a valve on the vent...what happens when you use the water to flush the toilet or run the sink? I would not put a valve...just me!!

I will have it closed when traveling and open when camping.

Just bought a 2021 Redhawk 22C SE last fall. Seem to be having problems with fresh water system siphoning when full tank. Also had a problem when winterizing as pump would not siphon anti-freeze out of the jug. Seems like the Jayco freshwater system, from what I have been reading, really sucks!
