You CAN'T legally make it permanent.

I would NOT do that. doing it then requires that the RV return to the exact spot -- within 1/4 to 1/8th inch in all directions. You can shorten the flex and I recommend leaving a few inches excess to allow for the RV being returned or settling. Note that if there is ANY danger of freezing, you need to consider that [no exposed trap] in your connection. BTW, many jurisdictions require a building permit and land use permit if you make a 'permanent' connection or if someone regularly lives in the RV. Fine for violation begins at several hundred dollars per day.
