Poopy Paper Problem

More water, LOTS more water.

BTW what brand TP are you using?

The problem has happened using both store bought septic safe paper and paper bought at Camping World. Man I hate the camping world stuff it's so thin you might as well use your finger?? Even though I'm dumping every few days do I need to put treatment in the tank and if so what's the best to break up the paper?

That quick clog makes me suspect that too much Tp is being used. You cannot use as much TP per job as you did in the S&B house. I'm solo, so cannot advise with your 3 adult situation. Make sure they are flushing only TP and not facial tissue, baby wipes, paper towels, cotton balls or anything else that won't readily disintegrate in the water. I use TP from Costco (Kirkland brand) and in 3+ years of full-timing, I've never had an issue. I dump the tanks when they're full unless I'm hitting the road.
BTW, I do use chemicals, purchased at Walmart. I've never used that $1 a sheet thin stuff CW sells.

After you dump do you add water to your tank and if so how much?

No need to buy squat from Marcus. Get your TP at Walmart. They have 2-ply there.

I tell our users to fill the bowl halfway before they sit down then flush when done. This seems to provide enough water to breakup the Scotts Brand Tissue (1000 sheet) we use.

I also use Thetford's Aqua Chem toilet chemical. The waste digestion enzymes contained in Aqua Chem really work to keep the solids un-solid for easy dumping.

Thats funny there.. I'm sure Marcus don't give a sh*t one way or another.....:B

Living in the country and having a septic system we use the cheapest SINGLE PLY tp we can get. Usually Walmart brand. Almost like wiping with your finger..,.almost.

Try adding water to about 1/4 full, after dumping. Most holding tanks are long and thin, so 5 gallons of water would hardly make much level in the bottom of the holding tank. Also try adding a near full bowl of water after use, to insure enough water is being used. Been there and done that in our last TT.

As mentioned above, not enough water is being used to flush. Fill the bowl as you would see at home and do your business (not necessary with #1). When finished flush well (not quickly) to ensure there is plenty of fluid to keep things moving down there. The dreaded poop pyramid will quickly be a thing of the past.

pee paper in a can poo down the hole and 2 flushes after for that plenty of water thing
