A simple solution would be to just make the hose longer. It's pretty easy and cheap to do. Chances are that the suction hose is just cheap reinforced plastic hose. It should have some markings on it that tells you the ID (Inner Diameter). It'll probably be 1/2" or 5/8".
You'll need
a new section of hose,
a hose barb splicer,
and a couple of hose clamps. You can find all of this at Home Depot or Lowe's. All of this is in the plumbing section. Both stores sell hose by the foot so you can buy exactly what you need and it usually comes out cheaper than the prepacked ones. Place one end of the splicer in the original hose and add a clamp. Place the new section of hose on the other end of the splicer and add a clamp. Now you have a hose as long as you need.
