Default Is it really that important to buy RV toilet paper?

Has anyone has any problems with regular TP in their coach?

Tom, yes use RV paper. If not, you should place your paper in a separate container for disposal, or you will eventually have a plug problem and/or a valve problem. My experience.

Been using regular toilet paper in my toilet for 4.5 years...no problem. I have a separate black tank from the gray tank, and I really flush out the black tank thoroughly each time I dump.....it holds around 40 gallons of black water, so it is easy to flush out. When the toilet valve is held open you can see inside, and it is obvious there is no build up. That's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it.

We use Scott RV TP. I buy it at Walmart and it is cheap. The Regular 2 Ply Toilet Paper will Plug the System!!! The problem is that it will not break down as fast as needed.
A similar problem will occur with a Septic System, we have one of those as well. We are in our 9th year and no issues at our Cabin!
PS on boats we called them debris or the white mice! Regular 2 Ply TP will get stuck in the system, that is why they make different type of paper for our systems.
PS single ply may do just fine.

I've always heard to put a few sheets in water and see how fast it breaks down. We use charmin and haven't had a problem.

Friends treat your coaches plumbing system kindly! I always buy biodegradable toilet paper for our coach.

I have never once bought RV toilet paper. I think it's all hogwash and another gimmick to make money. Who wants to pay "extra" money for "thinner" tp?! Sounds backwards to me!
