I notced that once the overflow starts, if you pump water into your hot water heater the overflow stops right away, i'm thinking maybe turning on the kitchen faucet may stop the overflow also

The water overflow tube is also the air vent for the water tank. Because the outer end is below the tank and the inner end is (sometimes) inserted too far into the tank, a siphon action starts once the tube fills with water. Running the pump to draw some water out of the tank will draw air in through the overflow/air vent and stop the siphon action. Unfortunately, towing the trailer will slosh the water around and restart the siphon action. Putting a valve or plug on the blue pipe will stop this overflow, but must be opened/removed before drawing water from the tank or the vacuum created by the pump can cause the unvented tank to collapse inward.

Is this still a problem...???.. Most of these posts were posted back pre 2017, I have a 2150RB that was manufactured in 2017. Could I have this problem, or do you suppose GD has since corrected this issue...??..

I had the issue on my 2019 2800bh. It first happened while I was towing my camper with a full fresh water tank. I was on a curvy road and noticed a trail of water behind me. It seems as water sloshed out of the overflow and didn't stop as a vacuum was created. It drained a 1/3 of the tank.
I fixed it by adding a Shark-bite valve on the end of the overflow that I close while the camper is in motion. I open it while filling the tank and while camping.2019 2800bh
