Toilet Paper?

[esox07]

Is it really necessary to use RV toilet paper or can I just use some good old Scotts septic safe stuff. I hate paying three times as much for crappy toilet paper and it is a hassle when you run out.

:h Now I "have herd" that if you take those rolls of stickies and put them in the camp fire one at a time they make kinda cute distinctive colors at night. :E

yes that is gross, it's a holding tank not a septic tank. how do you put up with the smell. I'll use the toilet thank you very much.

Ahh! Stirred, not shaken!:)

It's a holding tank!

The only RV toilet paper we have used was when we bought our Cub in 1999 and go it free.

Ever since then we have used normal household paper and clogs have never been an issue.

What toed toes says !!!

AngelSoft broke down better than the RV stuff also. Those tests are all over the internet and show that a septic safe toilet paper is just as safe to use in an RV as RV toilet paper.

The reason why people have to ask is because there are many who tell them "if you want to clog up your valves and sensors, then go ahead and use household brands" when the evidence shows that's not true.

I used rv paper so far but tried the test you're referring to. Surprisingly, the stuff I use in the house (Scott's) the house brand broke down much better than the rv stuff. So, next trip it's Scott's!

OK, I will just grab a couple rolls from the house next time instead of making a special trip to throw my money at what looks and feels like dollar store toilet paper.

Charmen, Costco, AngelSoft, etc. all disintegrate just as easily as RV stuff. Northern is the worst - it does not disintegrate easily and will clog up regular house pipes.

Reglur ole stuff.
