Do NOT dump either your gray or black water on the driveway at home! This is illegal in most communities and it stinks! The gray water will often smell as bad or worse than the black.
Take the trailer to a park that has a dump station and pay to use the dump. If you MUST do it at home, then either plumb a line to a sewer clean-out in your home or purchase a small waste water tote that you can load in your truck to a dump or, if it is small enough take it into your home and dump in the toilet. If you are very careful you could use a bucket but that is very iffy in regards to spillage.
Another possible solution for you would be a Sewer Solution pump nor a much more expensive macerator pump.
Either of these would fasten on trailer and have a smaller hose that you could run into your house sewer clean out or even a toilet if necessary. They will pump for quite a ways.
Which ever way you decide to do it, please do not dump the contents of the tanks in your driveway. Probably the simplest and best thing to do would be to wait for your first camp out and/or drive to a local campground and pay to use their dump station.
