The dreaded black tank debacle!

I ran a very scientific experiment this evening to test my hypothesis. I took one sheet of Scott's RV toilet paper and one sheet of Scott's "extra soft, septic safe", put them in separate flat containers. Each dish contained 1 cup of water. Covered each, gave them each one hard shake. Uncovered them. In about two hrs, both containers had paper that was breaking down! The cost of the pkg of 12 rolls of the septic safe was $5.39 - at WM. It would appear, the only difference is the packaging and the cost! Even the designs on the paper are identical! You're welcome!

yep, saw a utube video on the same experiment. Now have a VERY large supply of the generic dissolvable stuff.

thanks for the info. Appears you did this with just water, so the chemicals in the black tank would definitely make this TP safe to use
