I have an Aliner Scout with only a sink and found your video very useful I have all three of your items in my Amazon shopping cart but I have one question: Where do I find the Camco Easy Slip 4-in-1 threaded sewer adapter or standard sponge ring (sold separately)?
The threaded adapter comes with lots of different sewer setups but is a bit tricky to find standalone. I found one here: https://amzn.to/3W7GcLH that should work. I don't know about the sponge ring. I'm sorry about that.
I’m concerned that you have no in-line valve or air gap or trap in this configuration that would block dangerous sewer gases or worse from going backwards and entering your Aliner. Have you addressed this issue somehow? Does the Aliner have traps for all drains? Does your gray hose remain adequately filled to act as a trap? If your Aliner has no traps for the drains and your hose acting as a trap is not a certainty, this could definitely be an issue. I would consider a vented external tank temporarily plumbed to the Aliner, then a manual valve in a connection from the external gray tank to the sewer interface. Leave the valve closed and only open it to drain the gray tank to sewer, exactly as if the Aliner had a built-in gray tank. Obviously with gravity drains, you’ll need to manage relative elevations of the steps from Aliner to sewer. Never gave done this myself so I have no parts to link here, but worth considering.
I bought my 2013 Aliner Scout used with no manual so learning about sewer gases has me concerned. Not sure what to think since I know nothing about an in-line valve or air gap or trap configuration. I only only have a sink in my Aliner so maybe this isn’t a concern for me?
What a Great Adventure! AND what a Great Service for others who are new to the RV camping world!
Thank you so much! It is a great adventure. We hope we're adding value to the RV camping world!

Great observation. We hadn't thought that through. The RV has this warning printed on the side: "A CAUTION
KEEP DRAIN VALVE CLOSED.
SEWER GASES MAY BE PRESENT WHEN
RV IS CONNECTED TO CAMPGROUND SEWAGE HOOKUP.
IF DRAIN VALVE IS OPEN SEWER GASES
MAY BE VENTED OUT THE SIDE OF RV. (SEE OWNER'S MANUAL)

I'm trying to track down the owners manual to learn more. Thanks for the helpful feedback.
