Toilet paper test

Three days ago I took four squares of Camco RV toilet paper and the same amount of what we use in the house. Both folded and placed in separate mason jars half full of water, no other additives.

After three days there is no discernable difference in the amount of break down.

So is there an advantage to using the expensive paper sold for RV use?

  • We use "septic tank safe" and have had no problems. We both hate single ply.

    We have found that single ply is far better than the fancy paper in many ways Fancy being the RV paper, and the branded like Charmin, etc..

    Breaks down well.

    DOESN'T tear when being used!!

    Cost less.

    I find I use less, because it is stronger.
  • For us, as long as it says "one ply", it has never been a problem.
  • You could search this Forum for `toilet paper' to read what has already been posted. We use single ply Scotts.
  • This is what the wife thinks, and I have to agree.
  • No. Do not waste your money on 'RV' toilet paper.

    I use any paper marked Septic Safe.
