Toilet Tissue...

[Longshore]

Back when I got my first camper (3months ago) everybody told me I had to use RV tp. You guys that have been around the block a few times adhere to this?

I did the test where you soak the tp in water and RV tp definitely dissolves lots faster than, say, Scott brand does. So am I over thinking this?

Not really.
Even I was not a plumber, I did sewer cleaning in my remodeling days.
Couple of times my snake pulled whole knot of toilet paper who did not dissolve.
It was big enough to clog 3" iron pipe.

Sam's Club Member's Mark Bath tissue, Member's Mark or Cottonelle flushable wipes. All pass the "jar test". Combined with a macerator. Flush once for #1. Flush twice for #2. It's all about the amount of water.

Steve, I’m with you, people go out and purchase a vehicle to pull or carry their RV or buy a motor home and then the worry about the costs of things that make enjoying their RV possible .:R

I see it from different perspective.
When there is a group of people who can buy $200,000 RV, $300,000 boat and still spend $300 for a dinner, lot of people save for long time to buy their RV. They would never buy that RV if not small savings here and there.
I bought RVs becouse buying used, that was the cheapest vacations for family of 4 than 5 we could get.
But than I see people who buy new, huge RV and check into hotel.

how much do you guys pay for rv topilet paper down there? I mean the good 2 ply stuff? I pay 2 bucks for 4 roles ( i know, I know its usaly 3 to 3.50 a pack, but I get it when it is on sale)

which would be about 1.40 US are we realy talking about 300 buck dinners? I pay 14 bucks for 30 rolls at costco, so ya the rv stuff ismore expensive by 2 or 3 cents a roll.

even at full price here its only about 0.35/roll more than costco and it brakes down faster....

to be honest I am not sure what the fuss has been about.

As I remember, a student did the ultimate TP evaluation for her junior high school science project, Soaking it in water, shaking, etc., and determined that Angel Soft performed the best.

I'll try to find a reference to it on this Forum?

That was MrsMik'd daughter.

special shop, up here, canadian tire, walmart, home depot as well as rv shops all carry it. I would never buy it in a rv shop though that is a rip off. in the spring when I am shoping I just grab a few and put two in the truck camper and a few in the 5th wheel and I am set for the season. ya if I had to go to a special place to get it, I wwould probably be looking at alternatives. but I did do testing years ago and didnt find anything else that broke up as fast or as fine as the real stuff.

Steve

To each his/her own. Home Depot and Walmart are not in my normal shopping routine, so that's a special trip for me. Costco abd Walgreens are regular shopping stops so buying Costco brand or AngelSoft is more convenient. And they break up fine for the RV system.

We've been using Cottonelle Clean Care Ripple toilet paper for years in our camper. We're Charmin Ultra-Strong or Ultra-Soft at home, but feel it's to thick for a clean flush in the camper. Our toilet down pipe has an S curve in it before reaching the tank which doesn't like too thick of paper.

Like everything else, it's an individual's choice.
