In our trailer, that would work on all of the tanks except the galley tank. The valve for it, in Keystone's infinite wisdom, is under the slide, just aft of the rear axle. When set up for camping, the only way to access that valve is to crawl under the slide, negotiate the rear ram on the slide and then shinny under the trailer to reach the valve. While it's "OK" in some parks, to use the words from an old Ray Stephens song, unless you "crawl on your belly like a reptile", you ain't getting to that valve.

It's much easier to leave the galley valve open, use that "Chinese finger" hose holder to maintain the slope and let the end dangle and create a P trap to stop the gasses from migrating up the hose.
