You would have a hundred feet of very messy flexy hose.
We lived on our land in our 5er for 6 months while the house was built. I had about 110' sewer run with about 36" drop from the trailer to my home septic tank.
I used 3" pvc pipe which is smooth inside. When the grey tank was full I would dump the black and then the grey.
Moved into the house and pulled all the 3" pvc apart. Clean as a whistle because the drain had lots of slope which the grey water moved the solids quickly on out. My house has a 7' drop in 225' which washes solids on down and into the tank. No probs in 18 years now.
My septic tank guy was at first reluctant over the phone to install a tank 200'+ from the house till he came out and saw how much drop I had. He says his biggest problem with rural septic tanks and lines is not enough drop to flush solids (turdz) on down to the tank.
