We haven't done that with our RV but when we were had our boat we certainly did.

It is amazing what some guests on a boat feel free to plug the head plumbing with isn't it?

Since you obviously have been around boat heads and appreciate the their true nastiness, here's my story: Week long cruise in the California Delta, Cherry season in the California Delta, 10 year old grandson aboard, grandson ingested more cherry pits that he spit out. I leave the rest of the story to your imagination. That incident was 20 years ago, that boat never saw another cherry aboard.

I would rather deal with an RV head any day.

I paid attention to all the horror stories. This is the first on the pits of head maintenance though. The most noted is feminine hygiene products, of which I had a sign made up for. OK!! I didn't really have room for a sign. I had a small bumper sticker made up that I placed on the lid of the head.

One problem with non-dissolving paper is it can hang up on the sensors and give false readings.

If you can get rapid dissolving TP, get it. Backup would be single ply.

Everyone should decide early on what paper they want to use and stick with their decision IMHO. Since the holding tank and waste systems in an RV and/or a large motor yacht are not the same as a residential septic system then I would automatically ignore any butt wipes that claim to be "septic tank" safe.

Do the test yourself to see what paper is best. Take two water bottles and fill them about half full of water. Put a couple sheets of different toilet paper in each bottle and leave them sit. After 6 or 8 hours examine them, which one seems to be falling apart? Shake the bottles, which one dissolves better? Obviously you want the paper that dissolves quicker.

We have always used Scott's RV paper from Walmart. It really isn't that expensive and works great.
