overflow spilling water

Travelling with a 2014 293 RK and have experienced water exiting the rear overflow on every right hand turn. The freshwater tank has 2/3 full level. Was stopped by a following car that thought my sewer cap must be off. Everything else working fine! I removed the rear vent and I only found a washer screen. Is there any check valve between the vent in the tank.

when my wife followed me to the local campground, she told me at every turn, water came out, its normal, a check valve would defeat the purpose of a vent.

I would also check inside your camper where the vent line goes through the floor. I think I may have a leak there.

A fellow camper was following me and every time I turned a corner, water would flow out of the overflow. Every time that I braked or eased off the accelerator, water would flow out the overflow vent. Every time that I accelerated, water flowed out of the overflow vent. We would leave home with a full fresh water tank and get to our camping spot with 1/3 of a tank of water, pretty hard to go boondocking that way. Water tank did not leak as was tested.

Centrifugal force. Nothing to be concerned about.

This was a common problem on certain models back then. May also be on newer models, but I haven't heard of it recently.

It's just the water sloshing in the tank and the is to low. Are's is a 2017 and it does the same thing if we travel with more then half a tank.

Our 2018 3120 did that. I bought a plug from Amazon to use until I could get it back to the dealer. It turns out that there is supposed to be a loop in the hose from the overflow hole to the tank. Mine did not have that loop and water was being siphoned out as we traveled.
