Toilet Paper?
Is it really necessary to use RV toilet paper or can I just use some good old Scotts septic safe stuff. I hate paying three times as much for crappy toilet paper and it is a hassle when you run out.

While each person is free to use their RV in any way they see fit (as long as it doesn't impede on others), I am always amazed that some folks don't use the amenities that they've paid for.
We bought our RV to enjoy and have convenience. We use all of these features as they were intended and designed to be used. I especially appreciate the toilet in the middle of a cold night when I wake up at 3 AM and nature calls. I can't imagine putting on clothes and taking a midnight stroll to the nearest vault toilet in the campground.
But to each his own. They bought it they can use it (or not use it) as they see fit. And comments about what other countries do don't seem relevant to me. When I was in college, there were some foreign students that actually stood on the toilet bowl because in their home country, they were accustomed to standing over a hole in the floor to do their business. That doesn't mean that I should want to do that or that I should find it an acceptable practice.
- Some don't use the toilet at all in their RV
- Some won't do #2 in their RV (because they say it is gross)
- Others (apparently NOT the ones who are grossed out in the item above) don't throw their toilet paper into the holding tank, but instead keep it in a waste basket next to the toilet
- Some don't cook in their RV because they don't like the smell. (If it smells that bad, I guess I wouldn't want to eat their cooking either)
