My current Winnebago Minnie has the sewer valves and terminal end in a compartment enclosed and in the body. The new ones we are looking at have the valves and end hanging below the body and just to the rear of the rear tire. To me, it's an accident waiting to happen. I have scraped my step pulling into a driveway, this hangs much lower.
It sounds like since the valves are just to the rear of the axle they should be OK. Every Class C and the one travel trailer I've owned (other than my Class C 31C) have had the valves outside. When I bought my Itasca 31K the dump valves were a good distance behind the axle and were only 5 1/2" above ground level. My son replumbed both tank drains, moving the outlet about a foot closer to the axle and gained about 4-5" ground clearance. I did notice on a model built after mine they had changed the plumbing to something to more like what my son did.
