I recently devised my own sewer hose support system that maybe you could use in the place of something that is not doing the job for you. It works better than anything I have used or bought so far. I call it THE FLUME. Here is a link to pictures:
Looks like a good idea.... The set up time looks like it will take longer then it is worth. Everytime you set up in a diff. location you need to readjust the hose clamps. Good luck with it.

For this guy....it appears I would have to go back to school to get a degree in engineering.....
It looks like a great system for someone who stays PUT for great lengths of time....for the ON-THE-MOVE person....not so much

Do most people lay it on the ground, or use a support system? I carry a support system, but never use it......

We use a support system. Many of the parks that we have been to will not allow you to put your hose on the ground.

We/I use the gutter system. 4 pieces of vinyl gutter cut 4' - 6' - and 2 5' pieces. They all stack together and slide into one of our storage tubes. I use a velcro bungee to hold everything together.

We tried the "Slunky", I think the name was and my motto for it was "The Slunky is junky!" It always fell over. The one the OP has looks interesting and I think if maybe a youtube video of set-up was available, one could get a better idea of how it works. For those that set up for 3 or 4 months or those that just maintain a trailer on a permanent lot, set-up time wouldn't be an issue.

Many places require support but we use it most of the time, not just when required. Were told many years ago that sewer hoses that lay on the ground rub back and forth when and wear out faster due to the rubbing. Plus, we control the slope of the hose better with the support. We have the Ramble (Camping World brand) competitor to Slunky and it is lasting much longer than the Slunky it replaced.
