The perfect slope is:
For 4-inch PVC piping and a building sewer less than 50 feet long, the minimum slope is 1 inch in 8 feet, or 1/8-inch per foot, and the maximum is 1/4-inch per foot.
This per an internet search.
When installing sewer lines we said we wanted it to flow or drop. When got too close to surface install vertical, then flow again.
For dumping a RV, you should have a slug of water behind any solids. OTOH, the ribs in a sewer hose would change the flow, and I'm not smart enough to know if better or worse.
I think if I was looking at OP's problem I would use PCV, and build a above ground system that could be set in place, used, flushed then stored
