An inch? Good gravy! You might as well use a 6x6 for padding. I'm thankful that my sewer connection is a 1/4" away from my taillights with a piece of 3/8" plywood between the truck's bed and the camper's rubber bumpers. It's been like that for at least 5,000 miles. Nothing's broken and I can still attach my sewer hose. An inch of space would be luxury. I would think you could gain a half inch, easy.
Carb Cleaner, just make sure there is not a 1/8" gap between your sewer connection penetration and side wall (caulking issue) where water can spray in and flood your basement. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way.
