Do rv toilets have to be cleaned with specially made cleaners for rv’s. Is it harmful to the rv pipes, gaskets and connections to use Clorox Bleach. Must the cleaner be rv friendly.
No. RV waste plumbing is ABS and the waste valve seals are Santoprene. Both ABS and Santoprene are not affected by bleach.
However, in the 90's and early 00's, polybutylene (PB) plumbing was used in houses and RVs. It was a disaster as bleach disintegrated PB (see Spencer Class action lawsuit).
So unless you have one of these old RVs, don't worry.
