As an alternative, as I had a similar issue earlier this year with my TT parked at a festival, you might consider a macerator pump. This allows you to focus on just keeping your trailer level, not trying to raise it, or dig a hole for your portable tote tank to be lower than the dump level.
Flojet pumps which can be run with jumper cables off a house battery and use a garden hose (I use a good quality grey water hose that is 5/8 inch at the minimum, preferably larger) to pump the tanks. You can just have the discharge end go directly into the tote tank, or get a grey water adapter.
Another advantage of this method is if you have a pickup truck, you can leave the "blue boy" tote in the truck bed, pump the waste into the tote tank, then just use gravity to dump the tote tank. No worry about having to lug the thing around by hand.

Don't toss those split boards! Save them and use them in the future as the bottom boards and use the good boards on top of them. Those bottom boards are going to split eventually.....so using the split ones on the bottom will give them more flexibility on uneven ground.
And if you're only going up one level, I don't think the tires care if they are a bit uneven.
8" boards would probably be better than 6 inchers.

I took two 2x6 12 inches long and a piece of 12 inch x 12 inch plywood x 1/2 inch thick and nailed them together. Have used them for twenty or more years and none have broken or come apart. Marvh

+1 on this. Using a poop canon and pumping into the tote in the back of your pickup is a great way of dumping. You also have the advantage of being able to bypass the park dump site and dump at home into a sewer cleanout or toilet.
