Can you put disposable wipes in a toilet/black tank?

Gimpy it's not a good idea. Things could get seriously messy, clogged and gross. And every time you clear your tanks it will take some serious rinse out.

I don't know what kind of wipes you are talking about, but if you put one into a dish of water and after a few minutes it does not dissolve, then do not put it in the black tank.

May I point out that wet wipes will have been sitting in water for MONTHS by the time you buy them, and if they haven't already dissolved, they certainly won't do so in the next couple days before you try to dump your black tank.

That's why the package says not to flush them: in sewage systems, they are truly immortal.

I know some people flush them but I wouldn't do it.

I put the kid flushable wipes in the toilet, I do not put baby wipes or "clorox" cleaning wipes in the RV toilet. as with TP, as long as there is enough water to flush the solids out of the tank when it is dumped, all is well.
