Uphill tank system
I've been looking on camping world and other places. Can anyone suggest a good system to pump uphill 75 feet at a slight incline.

75 feet of rise is about 40 PSI. Take into account some friction loss for the pipe length, and you are at a much higher pressure.
If it is just 75' of hose, and say 15 - 20 feet of rise, then that can be done with any RV water pump. How much flow are you looking for?
If you only need about 5 gallons per minute, then the VSP pump that is 5.7 GMP and 12 or 24 volt input can work well. That would be a total of around 300 gallons per hour, so it is a significant amount of water.
You can find that pump at CampingWorld.com and the standard Sur flow is rated around 2.5 GPM. Probably only around 2 GPM at 30 PSI - about what will be required for 75' of garden hose going up 15 - 20 feet in elevation.
Good luck,
Fred.
