If you are going to a dump station at a park or wherever you only need the hose that attaches to your camper. The other end goes into the dump station receptacle. It is a good idea to purchase what they call a donut, which you put on the end of your waste hose. This donut then plugs into the dump station receptacle. It is not difficult. And, no you don't need a pump of any kind it all works on gravity.
Those portable tanks are used by folks who stay a long time in one place and don't want to move their camper to the dump station. Instead they put the waste in the portable tank and then pull that to the dump station. In the 15 years we have been camping we have never seen the need for portable tank, but we are road runners and don't stay a long time at any one place.
