Is it really necessary to use camping word toilet paper or can any toilet paper that says septic safe be used.

All I can say to that is EEEeeeyuck!
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.

They clog up with just hint of using more than one square of paper. Back when they started it one of the guys, in the officce put a sticier on the stalls "be paper conscious use both sides."
- I don't put mine in the toilet..I save it in a paper bag then use it for starting fires. It gives them a nice aroma..
B.O. - We use whatever we have at home. Right now it is Scott 1000.
No reason to buy the expensive RV TP Unless you are just trying to get rid of your money faster. :) - I don't think I have ever seen a TP that said "unsafe for septic tanks" on the package. :h
- I don't have city sewer at my house and I don't think about it. We use Cottenelle Ultra in the purple package, "With wider sheets for a more effective wipe"
Works in the TT or the house. Bucky Badger wrote:

You have a holding tank not a septic tank ..... any TP will work fine.
But what if the CG does not have city sewer?
I don't think we have ever stayed in a park that was hooked up to a city sewer .. When we were seasonal at one park for over ten years we used regular TP ( as did most ) with no ill effects to the parks septic system ..12rvjoe wrote:

But what if the CG does not have city sewer?- An equally satisfying wiping experience can be found by using anything you receive in the mail from Camping World.
