Fresh Water - Coming out of tank while towing

OK...on my last trip out, my sister followed us for the 5 hour drive. Once we got there she told me she thought she could see water coming from the trailer during the drive.

I filled the tank at home (dry camping...must fill before leaving) and I turned off the water once I heard some coming out of the overflow valve. Now...it continued to do this for a while, but stopped later on. I just figured it was "burbing" itself to a normal "full" level.

Once I got to camp, the gauge on the inside said I has 1/3 of a tank left....not good.

Not a drop of water in the basement area or coming from under the trailer...so that is fine...check a few times just to be safe.

Here is a picture of the overflow valve. I see that it is somewhat barbed, so that has me thinking there might have been a hose or something else there to stop water from coming out during travel. I'm sure water is sloshing all over in the tank during travel, but I wouldn't expect it to keep coming out of the overflow valve.

Ideas..???
