A neighbor camper came in one trip and setup and left his empty blue tote sitting in the back of his pickup truck.

After a couple of days I noticed he was hooking up a FLOW JET to his trailer tanks and then pumped the tank into the empty tote in the back of his truck. Then he unhooked the line from the FLOW JET and tied it off high on the truck and drove off to the dump site. There he said he just lowered the small line down into the dump and let gravity empty his tote in the back of the truck. No mess at all...

Seemed like a neat way to do this... He said the only drawback is to make sure the BLUE TOTE was bigger than the biggest dump tank. Otherwise you might over fill the BLUE TOTE and have a mess to clean up in the back of the truck...

I could see where this would be real handy pumping out your trailer when at home sitting in CAMP BACKYARD. Just pump it down the sewer tank at home.

I do exactly this. Black tank gets emptied via the poop pump. I drive to a dump station and let gravity empty from the tote tank into the dump. then go back, dump the grey. Finally, I toss some bleach in and rinse it out just to minimize odor.

-edited- As for a macerator pump, my ideal would be a permanently mounted one, but with a normal 3" drain hose fitting for a grey water bypass, or an emergency dump, if there are impeller issues. I just find the pump very useful.
