I dont like those expandable adjustable slinky stands, I dont want to fiddle with them.
I ran into a situation at a nice CG on a lake a few years ago where my site had the hookups on the wrong side for me to face the lake when set up.
I drove out to a local building supply store, bought a 10 foot length of 4" PVC pipe, drew a line lengthwise on both sides, pulled out my cordless reciprocating saw and cut the pipe in half lengthwise.
I carry several lengths of slinkies, coupled them together and tied my half pipe at the drain outlet, running it to the drain via under my TT. A few blocks in the right place allowed it to fully drain properly.
Works like a charm. I carry it in the back of my truck now when we camp. Simple and easy to use.
