I read the adhesive in 2-ply can gum up the works over time. We use Wal*Mart RV tp. Been using it for over 2 years... no problems. We also have two toilets and one is a power flush (macerator). That's the one I do not want to put regular 2-ply stuff in.

Some ppl have a macerator dump. Sure don't want to a clog there or burn up the motor. What-a-mess.

Angel Soft for us too. We also put in a cap of Calgon.

Wal-Mart Brand White Bread.
Cheap, absorbant, breaks down quickly and helps support boondocking nationwide!

Yes, I'm kidding.

Angel-Soft and I have this love-hate relationship, but as I have my OWN dumping station at home, it's not given me any problems at either end... Oh, another pun.... !

Uh... I worked in a paper mill many, many years ago, there is no adhesive used when making two ply tissue.

Mr_D · 10-10-2011, 07:29 PM

We've used what ever we had in the house and never had a problem, but that's only since 1957.

Oh, wait.............we didn't even HAVE toilets in the RV's then.

Use Costco "Kirkland" brand now although my wife did bring something else she bought somewhere else and it took a LONG time to soak up water in the bowl. I told her no more of that brand.

Isn't there a tiny bit of adhesive at the start and end of a roll?

You said a mouthful that time, Ricko!

I agree 100%.

We use what feels good, just like the bears.

ralphie · 10-18-2011, 08:15 AM

I never use the RV stuff. Good advice on using lots of water per flush, especially if there's a sharp bend in your piping between toilet and tank. Been there, done that, don't want to fix it again (in two different RVs)!

Dunner · 10-18-2011, 10:59 AM

I like long, hot showers and am not going to waste water by over-flushing. I went over 11 years with normal flushing in my 5er and never had a problem.
