I know there have been many posts over the years about TP ~ what to use, what not to use, etc. Last night, I saw a commercial for those personal cleaning wipes and wondered if those are RV safe or not. Thoughts?

Put one in a glass jar with water in it. Shake it up. Does it dissolve? If yes, then probably OK for the RV.

I'd have concern they would not dissolve in the tank and could create a plug. Way to find out for sure is to take a personal wipe and put it in a bowl of water. Let it sit for several hours and shake the water. Did it dissolve into fragments (like TP will)? If so, then safe to use. If not, if it stays rigid (like a paper towel), then I'd not want to use it in my RV.What do others think?

The flushable ones should dissolve.

They are likely to stick to the side of the tank. My son, the plumber, has always told me to never use them, even the flushable ones. They do cause issues in the house plumbing. The RV does not have the same amount of water pressure sending things through, basically gravity. I wouldn't put them in the system.
