My current Winnebago Minnie has the sewer valves and terminal end in a compartment enclosed and in the body.
That's the case with our 2005 Itasca, too.
It's drains and valves are completely enclosed in a two-compartment metal cabinet that is up high next to the frame. This cabinet is large enough to carry drainage system spare parts. The other half of this cabinet (with a steel divider in between) contains all of the cabling and electrical KIOSK adapters for external generator or full hookups, as well as a couple of hoses for up to a 75 foot of fresh water fill distance - all protected from dirt/dust and up high off the ground.
FWIW ... our main engine exhaust pipe, built-in generator installation, built-in generator exhaust pipe, automatic step when retracted, cab aluminum running boards, and rear bumper/trailer hitch heights ... are all well up off the ground.
(I call the above, in combination, as making up important portions of "Class C ground clearance". These are a few of the factors that I mention in the forums regarding some Class C motorhomes being better for off-pavement use than others - as certain folks with specific camping styles may want to be aware of when looking to buy a small Class C motorhome. )
