I forget where is was but it was a state law that a hose support be used. Just buy one, they're cheap and don't take up too much room.
New Mexico. I wandered around the state for a month last fall and all the places I stayed at required that the sewer hose had to be supported off the ground and said it was due to a state law.
Plus I've lost count of the number of places I've been where the sewer inlet is several inches above ground. If you don't use a support, how do you get liquid to flow up hill ?
As long as the inlet at the ground is loser than the outlet on your RV you are good to go. It's always better to have a low spot in your sewer hose it keeps sewer gases from coming up they your rig and constantly stinking up the neighborhood!
How will the gases get past the shut off valve? I want no low pot where stuff can pool and I keep my valves closed unless dumping. Every one should.
Most people leave their grey water valve open.
We are full timers. I don't like to be taking a shower and look down and see the water is rising in the shower!
To avoid "Build up" in the grey tank of "Stuff" I close the grey valve the day before leaving along with dumping the black tank so when traveling there is some "stuff" in both tanks to slosh around.
