I saw someone recommending using toilet paper that says "Septic safe" and not to buy the special RV toilet paper? Would it be safe to use this regular septic safe toilet paper in a pull behind travel trailer and it not get caught or clogged in the dark water tank?
 
I use the POMS brand from Sam's Club. Been using it for years. It's only sold by the case however. Small businesses mostly buy it. A case will go a long way.
Otherwise, most any cheap single ply ( and some two ply) is fine. The only thing special about the RV toilet paper is the price.
It's critical too to keep plenty of water in the black tank. After dumping it doesn't hurt to run several gallons into the empty tank and to make a practice of running water into the tank for 15 seconds or so after each toilet use.
I've heard of some who plumb the bath sink drain into the black tank.
 
All toilet paper is septic safe so use any brand you want and it will not harm your holding tank!
 
I have ben using Charmin ultra strong in my last 2 RVs. Never had a problem.
There are several people who have done test on YouTube. One built a clear holding tank and mounted it in the back of his truck so you can see what is happening under different conditions. He even shows the old tale of using ice cubs to clean your tank. Do you think that will work? You should go watch the video.
