drain tube height (x17z vs x213 or exp213)

I've got a 2012 x17z right now, and I find the drain tube is very low. I realize it's a low trailer, but I'm often too low to connect to the campsite sewer connection. My options are often driving up on 2 or 3 2x4's or driving around to a campsite that has a low drain.

Are the x213's any higher? Or are they based on the same platform? I'm looking at 2010 model. I can see from pictures that the 2013 or 14 the height changed and it got higher.

Can anyone with a 2010 exp213 (or any x213 for that matter) do me a favor and measure the distance between the ground and the base of the dump tube? I'm in the process of buying a used exp213 but want to make sure I can drain properly!

For what it's worth I have the same problem. I've had to pick up the hose to coax the poop to its final destination.

yes, and that's a lot of fun in the rain, or if the sewer pipe is 3-6 inches higher than my drain We're debating upgrading to an x213, but want to see if we'll still hit this problem!

Thanks! The x17z is about 5.5" so looks like the x213 is plenty high
