I hope this is the appropriate spot to post this. If not, mods please move or delete if it's too touchy.I'm wondering if there's a consensus on the best toilet paper to use for our black tanks? I'm planning to stock up for a long trip.I've heard anecdotally that the Kirkland house brand is good, but I don't know if that's accurate. At home, I'm a believer in Charmin heavy-duty. The parameters are:efficacydependability and dissolveabilitycomfort level cost per application

It's a holding tank, not a septic tank.That said, I do use septic safe TP.I have used non-septic safe TP with no problems.

We have been on septic systems for over 20 years and have never used specific TP at home or in our TTs.

Thickest most luxurious Charmin. Full timing since 2011 and not an issue.

Watch the Video. There is your answer.

Personally, I like Scott's RV Rapid Dissolving TP. It's feels nice and seems to break up easily.

We also put our TP in a plastic bag and dispose of in dumpster. Why fill the black tank with TP. We use Costco Kirkland TP, never a problem.

It is a holding tank. We have had septic for over 20 years and I grew up on septic. We use/used what was nice on our bums.

Sorry, I should have added the following:

Since Northern tp showed a failing to disintegrate in my home sewer system, I figured it would be likely to catch on the vavles, etc, in the RV. So, I wouldn't recommend it.

We don’t put tp in the toilet. We put it in the trash bag and dispose of it in a dumpster. Also we too have no tree roots in the black tank and also none in the septic tank at home.

I have used angel soft and kirkland without issue for years.

Years ago at home I found that Northern TP tended to get caught up on tree roots and wouldn't disintegrate. When I'd have the sewer snaked, it'd pull up roots and TP. Once I changed to angel soft and kirkland, snaking never pulled up tp just roots.

….. When we use the onboard toilet ( which is infrequently as we prefer to use any facilities where we are camping such as: vault toilet, RV Park toilet, where the bear goes) we put the used toilet paper into a plastic bag; then dispose of in the dumpster…. NO worries about clogged tanks, lines or sensors… And always remember to use LOTS of water when flushing….

It’s not so much what to you choose to use, but how much of it you use per use. If you throw big wads of it down the toilet you may create blockages. Also don’t throw “Butt Wipes” down the toilet.
