JMarske Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I have a question for full timers. Do you have to use the RV toilet tissue or can you use the regular house brand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 We have used both. One test I was told about was that the some of the home brands break up easier than the RV paper. Not sure what the RV paper is supposed to do better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted September 27, 2012 We have used Angel Soft for years without problems. Key is to not conserve on water when flushing regardless of tissue brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVerOnTheMove Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I have seen multiple tests showing how quickly TP breaks down. Some break down in something like 10 seconds and others take up to 90 seconds. Is this really a problem? How often do you dump 90 seconds after using the facilities. If you don't then I assume both types will have broken down. I have used many brands but mostly Charmin and I have been full timing since 1997 without any issues related to the type of paper I have used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitehawk Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Walgreen's best disolves readily and is a lot less expensive than the highly touted RV tissues. Just use a decent amount of water each time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbutler Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Never used RV tissue. As others have said, use plenty of water. Flush the tank with plenty of water when you dump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMarske Report post Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks you all for the input on this matter. No more RV tissue for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grammady Report post Posted October 1, 2012 You need to take into consideration how many sheets are used & how tightly folded. Suggest you do a test at home. Use TP as usual, drop in gallon zip lock or larger.. add a few drops of your waste solution (if you use any) if not just water or try both.. see how it disolves & how long. I've tested if it's folded with several layers.. some types do not disolve well. The single layer test .. any TP breaksdown in a couple hours but who uses a single sheet? Ditto on /// must use lots of water.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadlife Report post Posted October 1, 2012 I've been traveling for seven years now and have used a variety of brands. As a single, I only need to dump every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks and I do not use 'plenty of water" due to boondocking. When I'm in an RV park and have my sewer line hooked up, I flush those tanks liberally. Never have had a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
