Could be as simple as you are not totally draining the drain lines from the tank to the outlet. Then when going down the road it appears to leak.
If any concerns about finding water or other (items) in your drain when ready to hook up your drain hose purchase one of these:

It's possible that the vent line on the tank is loose or cracked. Water splashing around. Are you emptying the gray tank before moving?

I think Glwinger has identified the correct cause. The gray tank fitting may have cracked. A joint at the tank fitting may have cracked. The joint at the tank may never have been glued when in the factory.

Vent stack joints have also been found cracked or were never glued in the first place. Sagging under weight of water sometimes pull joints apart.
