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? Thanks Matt

Any that says septic safe is good for an RV waste system.

We've used anything and everything in my RV for over 40 years. Never had a problem. It all goes down the same with a 3" hose no matter what I use. And believe me; my ol lady does not skimp on TT in the bathroom. :E

We just use whatever we have at our house which is usually the brand from Samsclub. Luckily, we have a straight drop from our RV toilet to the black tank so we don't worry about which type of toilet paper we use. We always flush and rinse black tank after dumping so there's little chance of build-up.

Scott tissue (the single ply stuff) breaks down quickly - I use it at home and in the RV.

Septic safe is advertising hype.

There are many products on the market that are advertized as "Septic Safe" or "Safe for Septic Tanks" that will not damage the concrete tank but will kill the anaerobic bacterial culture that is necessary to the operation of the septic system.

Exactly how much of the suspect product does it take to kill all the bacteria and enzymes in a 5000 gallon plastic septic tank?
How long will it take for the tank to recover and regrow the bacteria?
Also, what kind of toilet tissue has that strong an antiseptic quality?

For REAL information about your septic tank and system, contact your local ag extension service or county sanitation department. THEY will give you true information, not urban myths.

I just wish that I had "invented" RV (Really Valuable) toilet paper.
Half the amount on a roll.
Twice the price.(0r more)
Twice the amount needed.

I still use Angel Soft 2 ply, I see no difference in the new or old, other than the wrapper.

I did contact the ag extension office about 45 years ago and they sent me a booklet titled "The Care and Feeding of Your Septic System".

Sooooo, if I understand it, I should stop using the Sears Robuck Catalog pages?

The only time I ever used that was in the "outhouse" days.
The "Monkey-Ward" catalog worked well, too.
