First thing that occurs to me is to wonder how fast that puppy will fill up. I've been involved in some sewer planning projects, and average water use in a residential setting is assumed to be 125 gallons per person per day! Most of which goes down the drain, of course.
I s'pose RV use might be a little lower than that, depending on appliances etc, but still- at $20.00 a pump it won't take long to make your sticks-n-bricks sewer bill look like chump change.
I think you'll find that RV use, particularly when not on full hookups, is considerable less than that. My wife and I can easily go a week before filling our 70 gallon total waste tank capacity without even trying hard, and without using public facilities for showers or anything else.
I was thinking that the O.P. would have a water hookup, too, at the site with the tank.
Folks tend to use more water when it keeps coming out of the tap!
Well call me Green also, I shower every day and DW and I can go a week on internal storage easy. Yes I has my hands during the day, use the RV for all restroom and showers, and washing dishes, Pots and Pans.
I will add that many of the coastal Oregon State parks, have limited or no full hookups, you learn to conserve.
