RV toilet paper now that Walmart is gone?
We are looking to load up on toilet paper. I heard that Walmart's Angel Soft dissolved well, but recently I have heard that the newer stock does not. Does anybody have an confirmed new choice? ...

I still use Angel Soft 2 ply, I see no difference in the new or old, other than the wrapper.
We tested currently available rolls of "Angel Soft" and it definitely does not dissolve as rapidly as it used to. We've gone back to using single ply Scotts. "Septic Safe" is not a meaningful term for RVers since the breakdown of material in a septic tank takes place over an extended time period of many months. RV tanks are emptied far more frequently and it is important that solids dissolve as quickly as possible.
If you have ever experienced a clogging problem with an RV black tank you would not have as casual an attitude towards differences in types of TP. As full-timer RVers we try to minimize sources of problems; using a TP that we know dissolves quickly minimizes the chance of having to deal with clogs.
We also used to use Angel Soft, but noticed a problem very soon after the new formula was released. In fact, we didn't realize there WAS a new formula until we had a clog and then looked at the package. We switched to Cottonelle after doing the "test". So far, so good. We called Angel Soft and they asked us to send them a roll back to do tests on because its still Septic Safe, but septic safe doesn't mean its great at dissolving!
I agree , many people scoff at the idea that the brand TP makes a difference....until they have an issue of their own.
We'll still pay attention to the TP because thats easier than NOT paying attention, and then having to dig in to the black water tank.
