RV toilet paper

[TravelinDog]

Yeah I know this is a strange topic.
I have always bought "RV" toilet paper but I'm wondering if it is really necessary? It's so much more expensive than other TP.
I'm thinking I could just use the regular stuff we bought at Costco.
The package says "septic Safe" just like the rv stuff.
Opinions?

One of those threads that you think you got rid of, but it backed up to create problems......again!

RV toilet paper is a rip off !
Don't waste your money on it.
In 30 years of RV'ing and three different trailers we never had a plug up and never had a problem with our black water tank

Maybe it depends on how much you use at one time??

Ok everyone. Let me know how that quality 2 ply works in your tanks? And let me know if you’ve never had a plugged line.
The good quality 1ply and 2 ply will not break down fast of at all. When the time comes to dump that wad will plug the drain.
Cheap single ply would be the way to go if you don’t want to use RV paper. I’ve used RV paper since we started RVing and I’ve had no issues. I do have some cheap paper we bought when people were hoarding it and that’s all we could find. It dissolves/breaks up quickly so it should be OK in the holding tank.

I would never say use anything you would use at home. It’s just not all good for RV use!

I disagree. I have been using Charmin for years. I does not break down and I have never ever had a problem with it clogging anything.

15 years and never a problem with mine.

I dont understand how a competent human being could buy Costco toilet paper more than once.

[Boon_Docker]

I would say that toilet paper is never a problem. The problem is the lack of a good amount of water in the tank.

Instead of everyone bragging about how great THEIR personal brand of TP is, how about a thread where folks tell us what brand has caused them personally trouble in THEIR RV in the past. You know, ACTUAL experience with a problem.

No anecdotal evidence allowed!

Would you expect anything else from some people here!

The RV has a HOLDING tank.

Toilet paper brand and type is of absolutely NO importance and has NO impact on how a holding tank works or doesn't work. Plenty of water and frequent emptying and flushing with plenty of clean water ARE important.

Yes, my degree IS in Civil and Sanitary Engineering. A long time ago, maybe, but poop is still poop.

The campground may have a septic system.

So what? City folk are on sewers, country septic tanks, years and years. Again speaking just to speak .................... that of which we know nothing.

Since somebody brought up my previous post, I'll try again:
