It ABSOLUTELY happens. My overflow tubes would run for a long time after I quit putting water in and I didn't have it going in under huge force. I actually put a 5 gallon bucket under the overflow tubes and found that it puked out almost 15 gallons just sitting still in the driveway. Once you start travelling, turning, bouncing down the road, I've lost over 1/3 of my tank before getting to the campground. Just check out this thread if you don't think so.

The first several pages are postings by non-believers trying to find another reason for the water loss. The last 3 or so pages have a quick and easy solution that actualy works.
It's happened to me and to lots of Jayco and Starcraft owners. It is a design flaw that the company never seems to address, although the fix is very easy.
