Creating a home "dump station"

HI - I have a 19' international (new to RV'ing) and have set-up a nice pad beside my house with 30amp elec, connection to my satellite dish on the roof, fresh h20 and the last item is to create a sewer connection. I was thinking about getting one of these (Portable RV Waste Pump > Toilet Waste Pumps > RV/Caravan > Flojet - ITT) which I've seen advertised (it macerates and send the effluent out a standard garden hose) then asking my plumber to run a Y off one of the existing waste stack pipes in my basement (conveniently close to the exterior wall where I'm parking the RV) with 2" pipe up and out the side of my house near the RV with a screw cap on the cover. Then, when I want to dump, I can connect the macerating pump to the RV, put the other end into the 2" pipe coming out of the house and "let 'er rip". The pipe into the house will be higher than my waste outlet on the RV (by about 36 inches) but the flotjet pump is advertised to be able to pump up to 25 feet away and up some height. This solution sounds like it will work but I'm not certain. Has anybody done this? Did it work? Other suggestiosn?

Thanks
