It could be adjusted so that the end would not rest on the ground and potentially break. If I had a proper pic of it that would explain alot.
Most states, unknown to a lot of campers, have a rule that a sewer hos CANNOT lay on the ground, it has to be supported all the way from the camper to the drain. I have for ,any years used several 5' sections of RAINGO gutters to support my slinky. A small supply of 2x4 pieces of wood under it creates the slope it needs to drain properly. Simple and inexpensive solution.

Happy camping.

And a solid tight fitting connection to the sewer opening.

On our last trip we ended up at a site for the first time that the sewer connection was far enough away that although our hoses reached the slinky support did not go the distance, so I went to a local place and bought a new slinky that was longer. Thinking I'll just give away the short one. Later in the trip I ran into a "high curb" situation at another campground. I found that if I used my new long slinky (that started higher) at the trailer the lowest end wasn't high enough. However if I meshed the shorter with the newer it not only had the length but slope/terminal height to clear the curb.


So now keeping both.

Personally, I extended the pipe by welding. When using welded methods of mounting plastic pipes, the connected edges of the products are subjected to a small melting process using special equipment. The heated ends are pressed against each other, kept for a certain time until the joint cools down. It is impossible not to say that this method has a significant drawback: not all types of welding work can be carried out at home. So, before starting to perform electric welding, they undergo special training. If you are not sure that you can handle it yourself, contact professionals from waterproofing services.

I always carried 2 sewer hoses, 1 long, 1 shorter, never know how some of the parks are set up, & a little collapsible 2'er that would stay stretched out or short whichever was needed to connect the sewer tote if you use one.
You DO NOT want to connect your sewer tote to the rv with a 15-20' hose unless you're trying to mimick Robin Williams in "RV", yep! BTDT!
I also carried 75' of drinking water hose, a 100' collapsible hose for black tank flush or rig washing & a 15-20' 50 amp extension cord & a few times had to use all of it.
