Before buying a new pump, I'd get the old on-board pump fixed or replaced with a new one. They aren't THAT expensive, and the pipes just screw attach to the pump, unless yours is a bayonet type connect.
But if you really want another pump, we purchased a 120 volt AC water transfer pump from Lowe's and use it to transfer water from a 35 gallon water tank when we are not on full hook-up sites. The pump is AC electric, but we also have a 400 watt inverter we keep in the truck all the time. In the event we need to transfer water and we are off grid, I can always plug in the inverter and still have AC power for the pump (which I've actually done a couple times over the years).
If it were me, I'd probably just replace the on-board pump with a new one before buying a secondary one.
