Fresh water overflow during tow

Community Alumni
Not applicable
During right turns, the new Jayco Eagle HT 26.5 RLS dumps fresh water from the overflow pipes. The amount of water is proportional to the speed going into the turn. During the last 400 mile round trip little of the 3/4th full tank was used as water was available at the camp site. However, a significant amount of water was lost on the road. Does anyone have any insight in this issue? This is my friend's rig and I observed this following behind. Is there something broken or is this a design issue? If he's headed to a dry camp, it will certainly be dry on arrival.

He bought direct from the dealer at the factory in Indiana. Many quality issues were only discovered when the trailer got home more than 2,000 miles later. In my opinion, the people building this Jayco need to become more familiar with the basics of using a ruler and tape measure. Maybe poor quality is endemic to the business. I also had serious quality issues that were only discovered after delivery. Lots of this goes way beyond the scope of the pre-delivery routine at the dealer level. The dealer can't be expected to re-build defects that should never have left the factory in the first place.

I am in Oregon to that should not happen they must not have used enough tubing from tank to outside and it should have a loop in it.I know in Oregon if you even leave a drop of any thing on the road while moving, big ticket even if its water but see people all the time draining they boats after pulling out.
