I don't know if you looked around at other campers, but you parked in the wrong spot. We've been to Fishing Bridge several times. You're suppose to park where your truck is parked. That puts all the connections at the rear and driver's side of the RV. Your truck is suppose to be where your trailer is. This is why you had to use such a long hose on your sewer.
It also puts all the connections for the RV behind you, in the middle between the two of you. I would guess that snow and freezing is the main reason for the lifted platform.
