Linda inquires:

"I'm curious...what is the 'Genie system?'"

---

It is an enclosed system for sanitarily disposing of disposable diapers, purported to contain the objectionable odors and bacteria of same.  Seems to me that used TP falls into this category, albeit a bit further down the size scale.

Here is the Target ad for the Genie.

There are THIRTY (30) reviews at:

I admit to having read only the first ten, but they range from "It's wonderful" to "It stinks" - I'm punaphrasing here, but you get the idea, yes?

Please note that there is also a Baby Wipes Warmer available! Now *that's* luxury!  So be sure to mention to Ed about why you want that extra 400-watt inverter hard-wired into the bathroom!  ;->

Like Linda, we have always just used the toilet as it is intended, with Scott TP in the 1,000-sheet roll.  This has been satisfactory, but were I to succumb to the idea of needing to deal with the paper in another manner, this is what I would do.  Our rig supports one man and one woman, but were there more TP users aboard, I might also consider alternate disposal methods for this "consumable product".

I agree with Andy that there is no room for a 1' x 2' sq "genie" in our RB bathroom.  Nor do I see the need.  But, unlike Andy, we have never put toilet paper in our tanks.  I won't say our gauge is dead on accurate, but it does work most of the time.  I don't think that putting the TP in the trash rather than the toilet is odd or particularly dangerous, but then I live in Mexico half the year where it is normal.  I dump the trash daily, at least, and we don't have any smells at all.  I use purchased bags in the bathroom trash because the recycled grocery store bags I use in the kitchen often have small holes in them.  I buy bags, with vanilla scent no less, by the hundreds at WalMart for very little $$ and use at least one a day.
Whether in the US or Mexico, it's  been easy to find a place to dump these small trash bags.  If you are traveling, every gas station has a trash that will take a small bag.

This is a subject that some people find really gross, I'm not sure why.  It incites a lot of feelings though and really, it is just a choice you can make and not something that others have to agree with.
It works for us and it works for our tanks, we are fulltimers and have lived most of the last 3 years in our LD.  Whatever is easy and keeps maintenance and problems to a minimum is on my list of "good things".  YMMV.
