When filling my tank, ... Underneath the coach just about a foot or two in front of the rear wheel opening there is a small amount of gas on the ground. It does not leak until the last minute as I hear the gas gurgling in the line. ...

While the vent lines are a good candidate for this issue, it also can be caused by a leak at the sender. The leaked fuel runs along the "channel" for the fuel and vent lines to the left front corner of the rear tank. (This would be a little forward from the wheel opening.) As you have to drop the tanks to replace the vent lines, be sure to check everything else out while you are there.

Here is a selection of pics:
