I did the TP in water test once. Found out that one of the major RV brands doesn't disintegrate whatsoever, even after 24 hours. I think it was Thetford IIRC, but not 100% certain. There are no industry regulations or standards for labeling TP as "safe for RVs" so just because it says so, don't take it for granted.
One Costco brand disintegrates and one doesn't. It's a LOT cheaper and if you want to use it, I'd do the test to check it out. There's a regular grocery store one that works great, can't remember it it's Scotty or Cottonelle or another one, but it does break down just fine for RV use. We sure don't like having to pay the mafia-inspired RV TP prices...
