My "tote" is a 30 gallon barrel ($10) strapped in my truck bed. I fill it with a Flojet macerator pump and it has a 1-1/2" gate valve and hose to empty it. I started with a Harbor Freight 12V marine pump but the macerator is faster and I can empty the black tank with it.

Can you tell me why you want to put water INTO your holding tank?

Guess I should have said fresh water tank. The talk was about holding tanks and had that stuck in the old noggin.

Just wanted to post a follow up message.
I ended up buying a ryobi cordless pump, since I already had batteries.
The only challenge I ran into is that both the pump and the valve cap had a male connection, which I could not connect the supplied water hose to. I only had a walmart close and I found a quick disconnect set that worked, but it had a strainer in it.
The pump worked great, but when dumping the galley, the strainer would get clogged up with food particles. But that was easy to clean out.
I appreciate all the feedback.

For future reference, a washing machine hose has two female ends. I always keep one in my gear.

You can also get a 6' hose reel leader hose with two female ends.
