Neat idea for your larger fresh water tank...
We too camp alot without hookups and usually spot the area that has a water spigot before arriving at the camp spot...
Sometimes of course this doesn't work out.
I carry four empty containers two 5-gal jeri-can types for fresh water and two 7.5-gal Aqua-tainer jugs for waste gray water.

My generator is always available sitting secured in the tailgate corner of my truck so no big deal...

Then he unhooked from the pump and kept the hose up high on the truck and took that to the dump area. Then he would gravity feed the waste into the area they wanted him to use for that...
