RV toilet paper

Does the macerator pump in the newer PC's handle ordinary toilet paper without problems? Or do I need to get the special rapid dissolve kind?

Thanks,
John

Ordinary is fine, anything that works in a septic tank is good.  We use the same as in the house.

Always use enough water and put back a few gallons in the black after you dump so 'stuff' won't stick to the bottom of a dry tank.

Friends with the macerator option tell me that they have to be more careful with the type of toilet paper.  I would suggest following the advice of the RV Bible; "Are you RV Ready" by J.E. Boyer, and use Scotts 1-ply RV paper (p.219).

We second the motion in favour of Scott 1 ply toilet tissue.  Twenty years of RVing in four different RV's and never a problem.   

We use Angel Soft 2-ply without any problem.  Patti

Barb and I do what we have to do when on a Christian mission trip to a third world country.   Paper goes into a wastebasket. Works for us, and not such a shock when we go on our next mission trip. (Our pump probably loves us for this) .  Added advantage, is at our aging maturity, keeps an eye on our colon etc.

Angel soft here or any septic safe paper.  One that is not septic safe is charmin. And no matter what paper water is key.

We sure have come a long way.......Mr Sears and Mr Robuck must be rolling over.  For me, If it wasn't eaten, then it doesnt go in the tanks, but I usually overreact to anything that can cause me problems later.

We buy two ply rv toilet paper at Walmart.   

Since 2006 I have had an rv ( PC and Roadtrek) with a macerator pump and I have never, ever had a problem with the pump getting stopped up.  Never.  I don't worry about toilet paper but we are mindful of hair going down the shower drain because that will lock a pump faster than degradable paper ever would or could.   We have a small screen designed to fit over the drain in the shower specifically designed to catch hair.   They cost three or four bucks and you can buy them at most places like HD or Lowes. 

Personally, I have always meticulously maintained our various motorhomes for thirty five years of enjoying them but we bought them to use and we use them.   Everything on them.  We have used  campground showers once in all of our years of rving.  That is why we have a motorhome - to have our own shower, food, toilet and bed.
