I have been using Angel Soft for a couple of years after seeing a similar video on I Love RV Life. Based on what came out when I got a Poop Shower because of a leaky black tank valve, I can say it dissolves very well.
We use Costco's Kirkland brand at home an in our RV. It dissolves OK with our enzyme treatment and I've never had a problem with it. It has never clogged the plumbing. On a recent trip we had to buy some while on the road, so we got Scotts at a supermarket. It's terrible paper, but the stuff dissolves to nothing after a few hours. When I dumped the tank after a week of use, I did not see one trace of paper go by the clear section of the sewer hose. You have to use more of it to do the job but you won't have to worry about it clogging the plumbing.
Thanks for sharing! We've never tried Costco's brand, but we might have to. :) We don't live on the road anymore, but our house is on septic so we're always mindful of the toilet paper we buy.
OK, I have another one to toss in the test. I have used Charmin Ultra Soft 3 ply but mostly Quilted Northern 3 ply along with Walex green for years without issue. We got a different RV in March and are have difficulty draining the black tank as it seems to dam or clog. So I assumed due to a design difference in the new RV that maybe this paper was not suitable. So along with your test and my own research I decided to buy Cottonelle 2 ply. It was the only one that on the label not only "septic safe" but "will not clog". I did a few tests with 1 cup of water and 3 squares of paper. the Cottonelle was TERRIBLE and the Quilted # PLY Northern broke down nicely. This was without vigorous agitation. So I'm going to keep using the Northern but have changing the tank treatment to Happy Camper to see it better digest. If that doesn't work I'm switching to Digest It. Thanks!
Thank you for your video. When I was getting my Bachelors degree in Forestry I took a tour of a paper manufacturing company. At the time they also produced toilet paper. I asked the company representative why toilet paper was always white. He graciously bypassed the obvious crude answer of “So you know when you are done” and explained that wood fibers contain lignin which is what gives wood its strength. They use a bleaching agent (sodium hydroxide I believe) to remove lignin to make the tissue soft enough for consumer use. It also makes the paper white. The more lignin is removed the softer the tissue becomes. This also aids in breakdown once immersed in water. He also added that they could make tan colored toilet paper but the majority of the consumers want white toilet paper.
@@FreewayFlippers I don't know for sure. However, I believe you've done a great job showing what is important to know when comparing toilet paper for use in an RV. Thanks, again.
Thanks for sharing. There really is no such thing as "RV toilet paper" per se. That is just a marketing ploy used by the toilet paper companies to trick people into thinking they need to spend extra money on a specialty product when it is not necessary. Any one-ply toilet paper like Scott's 1000 or something similar would work just fine in an RV holding tank, as would Angel Soft. You would just want to avoid the "premium" 2-ply or 3-ply toilet papers like Charmin Ultra or Quilted Northern which are much thicker and take longer to dissolve.
We have septic where we live and use Angel Soft still. Also bought a Bidet which is magical! Highly recommend both. 🙂 This is the one we use. Really reduces how much toilet paper we use. amzn.to/3TBjspb
I live in my RV full time and have been using scott comfort plus and never had any issues. Today I had no choice but to buy angel soft and did so with hesitation. I'm so glad I watched your video because i was worried I'd need to return it but now I'll give it a try!
Interesting test. I would also go further and add a little of the liquid dissolver to each one. We've always used Scotts RV, but at home we're the Members Mark from Sams club users, so I'd like to see that one test.
Angle soft is a septic system safe,when my drain field was plugged I used charmin,been using it in my camper for 2 yrs camper toilet paper made my butt hurt so changed paper and it worked.so if you got a sore ass every time you go camping change your paper.
