Septic Tank For Fulltime

I have the opportunity to park my TT on property once occupied by a modular home. There is a septic tank the property owners said I could connect to and the plan is to stay here for 1 year.
There is a pole for my 30 amp connection but the septic tank is about 40 feet away from my hookups and runs parallel to the ground. I can't get any closer. I would prefer to buy sewer pipe to connect but not sure how to address the connection at the septic tank. Any suggestions how to do this will be appreciated or do I need to hire a plumber?

Thanks.......

Don't make the mistake of thinking you can now leave the black valve open all the time. As said above, keep it closed and wait until at least 3/4 full before dumping.

The make connectors so you can use PVC pipe. I would prefer that for a semi-permanent setup. The smooth inner walls will flush better and it's less prone to pinholes and other issues.

Make sure the tank is at least 3/4 full so it flushes well.

The only issue would be if there isn't any downward slope. then you might have to buy a masserating pump system.

What’s wrong with a normal 40’ Sewer hose. I’ve done it before.
