toilet paper

Is it really necessary to use camping word toilet paper or can any toilet paper that says septic safe be used.
  • We use the same as the house. The kind with the puppy dog on the package I think. LOL

    We do not put paper in the black tank, partly because the trailer is used but not moved and had a couple of issues with clogs in the dump line, from someone (not me) putting big wads of TP down with not much water.

    We use normal to generous amounts, fold it over neatly & wrap if necessary. Put it in the small bathroom trash can lined with a Walmart bag, which is emptied daily.
    All I can say to that is EEEeeeyuck!

    It is a waste of Money to buy RV specific TP. All you need is something that will break down easy. The Cheapest Dollar Store TP will do that. If you want to use the more expensive stuff, you can put it in a trash Can and throw it away. No TP will clog up your Sewer if you do not put it in the Commode.
  • So with all the hype on "septic safe." Is there such a thing as not septic safe?

    Also I hear tell that John Wayne let his horse eat the shelled corn and shucks and used the cob. Sometimes he would use two if he was heading to town. Finished with as white one to check out how well the regular one worked. :W
