Stinky Slinky Bridge

I'm so proud of my construction I wanted to show it off. My problem was the drain in the ground was many inches above the ground and in between it and my camper, the ground has several dips.
This 'bridge' allows me to set the angle nicely. I built it from vinyl rain gutters, 1/2 pvp pipe and fittings. When we leave this campground I'll reduce the vinyl gutter length so all pieces fit into the basement.

What other techniques have you used?

Very nice! I'd suggest that you allow the hose to curve down to the ground on one end of the gutter to create a trap. Doing that might help in keeping sewer flies from the sewage system from entering your tanks.

Very nicely done!

I borrowed a similar idea!

Used a vinyl post 8 foot cover. I think 5x5 inch dimensions Bought end caps and a couple rubber tarp straps to hold the caps on and mounted under frame near sewer connection
Took 4 inch vinyl gutter cut to slightly under 8 feet so it would fit inside.
Slides inside with stinky hose in the gutter.
Loop of wire for handle to pull gutter out of post cover
When using it the wire loop handle goes over the hose connection to support end at trailer end.
I have a stinky slinky if I need more length to sewer connection and it ensures a downhill travel from trailer to sewer connection

I can see it now- an obituary for an old rv'er-

Avid Camper Fred Farkel passed over the Stinky Slinky Bridge last Sunday.
