Since we’re all friends…
My camping partner of 43 years and I are wondering what other brand of toilet paper besides the normal stuff we’ve been buying (the Camco type 2 ply dissolves before you very eyes)? 

Thanks,

Personally I like White Cloud [Amazon], used it in the Lazy Daze and also at home.  ;)

We put nothing Into the toilet tank other than our business. We follow the suggestion made here years ago that disposing of tissue/wipes into a sanitary waste receptacle reduces risk of black tank problems. And, after three years of steady use, (including regular flushing), our original black tank level sensor still gives accurate readings.

YMMV of course…

Charman Ultra Soft, from Costco.
Flushing well regularly, using the in-tank nozzles and our summer septic enzyme soak keeps our tanks clean.

After 20 years, so far, so good.

We've had good luck with the soft version    Thetford 2ply Campa Rv & Marine Toilet Paper  .  It doesn't seem to dissolve too quickly   YMMV
   The 'TK black tank is remarkably simple and easy to clean (small too!).  So Warrens MB has a more convoluted system, easier to plug up, with a shallow slope drain section near the tank entry point.  RonB

We've only used Scott 1000 sheet rolls for home and RV for decades.  I grew up on it over 50 years ago, so maybe I'm "conditioned" to not needing 2-ply fluffies  :D

Just finished my annual “Larry soak” 😂😂😂

We too, pumped both tanks out this afternoon, in preparation for an upcoming beach trip.
I try to do this in July or August when the days are long and hot, in an effort to keep the microbes active and happy.

I did a semi-scientific test of various brands of TP.  Best dissolving while still usable were Scott Comfort Plus and Angelsoft.

For the most part, we’ve been using the Camco RV TP that you see at Walmart. I recently found this 2-ply on Amazon but have not used it yet so can’t vouch for it.  Kinda pricey.

Once a year you fill your grey and black tanks with enzyme based cleaners.  We let it sit for 3-4 weeks during a hot time of year then flush it out.  Seems to do a great job of cleaning the tanks/sensors.  We just did our annual maintenance as it was pretty warm here (SoCal).  I refer to it as “Larry’s Soak” as he was the one who suggested the approach years back.

Our LD has received the septic tank enzyme treatment each summer for many years. After flushing the tanks until the runoff is clear, the tanks are filled, and each tank receives a packet of the enzymes (available at any big box hardware store).
When drained, an amazing amount of stuff comes out of what was supposedly cleaned tanks. The tanks build coatings on the inside walls that are sticky and do not come out when dumped, the enzymes break down the coatings and allow them to be removed. Our original tank sensors still work fine.

I can attest to the effectiveness of “Larry’s Soak”. I was amazed at the gelatinous mess that flowed from our gray tank doing this procedure. Got the sensor working correctly again.

I haven't done anymore than use my rinsing jet from underneath the black tank, so maybe an enzyme treatment coming up soon.  Is this the stuff?   Amazon.com: Green Gobbler SEPTIC SAVER Treatment Pods with Bacteria For...    RonB

I happened to get this one:

My only criteria when shopping was to make sure it had an enzyme to break down the nasties. Would be interesting to hear if one is more effective than another.
