If doing this more than just occasionally, a macerator pump would be a good idea That way you can leave the tote tank in back of truck and pump into it and not have to lift the tank in or out of the TV or tow it.
Back when we first moved from a popup to a hybrid I made the mistake of buying a 22 gal tote tank but quickly discovered what a nasty job it was to off load grey and especially lumpy black water into a tote and later try to get rid of it. I soon discovered the FloJet Waster Macerator and for years now have used it for servicing our tanks at home and also for offloading grey and / or black as may be necessary when camping. I sold that awful tote tank, ditched the stinky slinky, and for years now have used a set of four 7 gal Aquatainers (marked clearly for the purpose with red tape on the handle) for offloading grey and even macerated black water. With the tanks in the back of my truck there's no lifting at all other than at the dump station where I just lower each one, one at a time, to the ground and simply tip it towards the dump station sewer inlet. No lumps at all, just macerated waste water, a quick rinse once empty and they're ready for the next use ... it's just all too easy. :B
