Toilet paper, crucial!

I'll wager it's the exact same toilet paper made by the same company with different labels. Years ago when I was married I asked my wife why she bought the Red Gold canned tomatoes and not the cheaper brand. I later found out both cans of tomatoes were canned on the same line with different wrappers and no that was not the reason for the divorce.

Haven't used RV toilet paper for over 40yrs never had a problem. FYI we use single ply Charmin.

Is the fantastic Members Mark (Sams) tp acceptable for use? We will be full timing, this is an important thing. My wife said "O don't want to have to buy 4 rolls for $10 from a camping store!!

Any help would be appreciated. We are ordering our 4113 today!

We use single ply paper, good way to see if it dissolves quickly is take a section and hot in some water and shake it up, if it dissolves quickly it is good for rv black tank

Cottonelle ultra comfort care. And Piranha Holding Tank Cleaner by SuperSeal Three years full time and never a problem.

It's a two-week holding tank. not m a septic system. use whatever you want. If you use the right amount of water there is nothing to clog. a bowl of water for a bowl of poo,

We have been using the "no name" Walmart brand with the black lettering. It does the job and have yet to have an issue with the tank being clogged or leftovers. The price is certainly right!

We have a septic system and a RV. My septic system guy taught me that not all tp labeled "septic safe" is actually septic safe. He told me that the way to test it is to put a few squares of tp in a bowl of water. If it starts to fall apart quickly, it is septic (and RV) safe. We typically use Scott's (the basic one) in our RV. It is not the nicest tp but it is readily available, inexpensive and safe.

Having sad all this, I've noticed drastic changes in tp since the pandemic started and the tp shortage so I can't vouch for what Scott's is like now. Test your tp in a bowl of water and you'll know. After I learned about this test, I tested my favorite plush tp. It was still in squares after an overnight soak. Had to give up my favorite tp.

Pretty crazy answers here. It makes no difference what you use, or how long it takes "to dissolve".

Its a holding tank, not a septic system. You could flush golf balls and they will empty into the dump station.

Wow, I didn't see one crappy response, thank you!! I'm actually thrilled to keep using the MM TP now, thank you all so much for dumping your thoughts and experiences. And yes, we are selling out tp here quickly in Daytona/Ormond Beach too.

Hilarious!

We use POM from Sam's. It disintegrates quickly, however we don't put TP in the toilet; it goes in a separate plastic bag, an orange newspaper bag. Most important to black tank is lots of water; never let it get solid or dry.

+2 on both of those recommendations.

[Jack2014]

Always use Scott's RV TP from Wal-mart. Never any problems.

[joe w]

You won't however way way over priced considering the alternatives.

we have been using regular tp for about 4 years now full time in a TT and then a class C
Haven't had any problems.
Just remember that water is the best have way to prevent problems!
Fill the bowl with some water before going and flush with plenty of water!
Keep the black tank valve closed till at least 3/4 full
Rinse, Rinse,Rinse after draining the tank then put a few gallons in the tank and I found oxiclean tabs have worked for us!

Lots of funny stuff on here but these 2 statements probably make the most sense. Life's too short to worry about what you're wiping your butt with.

[OafDawg]

I use whatever we use at home, or whatever the wife buys without a single problem in over 40 years of RVing. Just use plenty of water with each flush. Water is the key to prevent problems and don't open the dump valve until full, even with full hookups.

I did a test on Sam’s Club Members Mark and I compared it with Camco RV toilet tissue as well as Costco’s Kirkland brand. I was amazed that the Camco stuff and Kirkland hardly broke down at all. I even kept the mason jars on my counter for a week or so after the test and I’d shake up the jar a couple times a day. Even after a week there were huge pieces un-dissolved. The Sam’s stuff however was pretty much liquified after 30 minutes. I was totally amazed (and relieved) now we can just use our regular stuff in our camper and be confident that it will be fine in our system..

[Weatherman1]

Except the fact that golf balls roll and TP does not!

[Jab55]

This is why I follow this forum....this is a crucial topic. I am definitely switching to great value TP. I have always bought the camping stuff and paid top dollar for not so great paper....I have seen the light.
