Toilet tissue ratings

Kirkland from Costco. No problems. We fulltime.

If you have issues with TP will depend on your rig and how it's plumbed. Not all rigs have a "Whoosh" setup. I have a 5'ver with a very flat black tank that also has several turns in that 3 inch pipe prior to the exit. The velocity of the drain is no where near what it should be. Yes, it will jam with TP if you use the wrong type or too much TP.

Always used Angel Soft with no issues till they came out with a stronger version. That 5'ver then started to plug up halfway during the draining process. Switched to White Cloud three ply based on Consumer Reports from a year or two ago. No more problems.

We live in our rig for about 6 months each year.

Everyone should know,by now,that the only TP to use in the RV is the high $$$ kind that is made for RV use.It says so right on the package.
As I have posted before..RV means Really Valuable,that's the reason for the higher price.
Any other kind will ruin the entire drain and tank system,causing tons of grief and ruining your vacation!
($10 bills will also work and possibly cheaper.)

Here is some info on dissolving times of some brands. Unless you dump very soon after using the toilet it looks like any brand will be okay since the worst ones dissolve in less than a couple of minutes.
For 11 full timing years we used whatever TP my wife liked and had no problems.

Non-skid, puncture proof and reversible. That's all I care about. It's a holding tank, not a septic tank. Anything will work as long as it goes through the pipe...

Scotts is what we use.

"My Scott broker is EF Hutton and he says......."

Oops - guess that commercial was *STOCK* broker..;)

Butt (another pun) for the OP.....Charmin.

And - *if* you really care....you can do your own testing:
Glass of water - drop piece of (unused..:B..) TP into glass -
agitate - see how well it dissolves.

Flush with lots of water....and - just like the punch line of a So.CA radio commercial for Sit-and-Sleep mattresses - w/free sheets.....
"That's no sheet, Larry!"..:W

Perfect....
How come some RV'ers make RVing more complicated than it is?

They don't worry about which Tp for the house but when it comes to the RV........OH the Horror.

Your home drainage pipe is smaller with longer runs.........

Buy what you want. Use it. Dump your tank when FULL. It will all come out that 3" pipe.

Ever seen a boulder being carried down a stream.......water is heavy and will move mountains. WHOOOOOOOSH!

I can't find the video, but TheFitRV.com guy (James), came up with this as one of the top performers, iirc.
Life's too short for sandpaper toilet paper.

There are better things to be concerned about
