RV sites vary all over the place, but if you have 15 feet you can probably handle almost every one. Most of the time I can use a short 7 or 8 foot section.

Typically, at a dump station you can drive right up to within a couple feet of the actual sewer connection. 
At campgrounds, anything can happen, so we've always had a 20' length of slinky connected to the tank drains plus an extra length of 15' or 20' for those situations where the sewer connection is awkwardly placed.

For the rare circumstance where we've needed more than that (twice?), we've got 2 lengths of 4" PVC in one of the bays that we can put into service as well.
