Waste tank emptying for beginner

Hi folks. I will be a first-time hybrid owner in the spring. Very neophyte question, but I've never even seen how to go about emptying the trailer waste tanks. For example, when you're at the dumping station at the campground, do you just hook up a sewer line equipped with a pump (supplied at campground) to the lines below your trailer and empty?

I guess what I'm asking is do I need to purchase additional supplies like lengths of piping and a pump? I've seen the kits where you can pump the waste into portable tanks, they look handy, but what exactly do I need? Thanks for your patience with a very new beginner.

To bring the thread back on topic and because I'm curious about having folks review/critique what I've written. I put together a blog post about emptying RV tanks.

For the OP, this should be good to help you. For other experienced folks, I'm open to changes/suggestions!
