We alway do. We look forward every week to your next video. 😉
So what tissue is the winner
Look into a bidet guy's, i installed one during the great tp shortage and im never going back..
Just a thought on the TP and black tank discussion. We have always put our TP into a separate waste basket, and don’t flush it. Maybe one less thing thing to deal with? Great video, and enjoyed the testing process!👍🏼😊
My wife and I love your channel as we continue the search for an RV. You two crack us up with your enthusiasm about everything, even something as mundane as toilet paper. We’re truly getting educated in ways we never thought of. 🤣😂🤣
😂 Once you become an RVer you start talking about things you never thought you would, lol. Maybe we are easily amused 🤔 Thanks for following along with us 🧡
Honestly you guys are hilarious. I love the scientific investigation and research you do on TP products! I mean, lets be real - we know what we want!! Soft, cozy TP that breaks down "enough". 😂 Happy Travels!!
🤣 Is that too much to ask for! Thanks Kathi, appreciate you watching!
I like to use pure power for our tanks .
I've used Charmin and Happy Camper for many years with zero issues. Always start 3 or 4 gallons of water in tank.
Kirkland you need to several layers as it's so thin so it blocks a normal toilet i use a plunger most business use Scott 1 ply but I don't use it as it's rough
I would not use Kirkland in an RV unless you don't use much and don't mind brown on your hand
I use Cottonelle and I don't flush the paper. Works great and no smell.
FYI...We like to use the product "Happy Camper" for the black and gray tanks even though we might be a full-hookup campground....keeps everything smelling better.
We still have to try that. I know alot of people love happy camper! 😊
Happy Camper also makes an Extreme Cleaner for your gray tanks. One of us may have rinsed out a yogurt container in our sink and caused a big stink...literally lol. Extreme Happy Camper to the rescue. 😁
Oh wow! That's good to know as we cook and eat a lot in hear. Your gray tank can be worse than your black sometimes! We need to try happy camper.
The first time we used Happy Camper there was NO ODOR when dumping the tank! We were sold and have never used anything else since.
As always in a Black tank, water is your friend, we keep a bucket in the shower, and I dump some of our shower water in the black tank so things flow nicely
I love your Travels.
I knew a doctor named Irene Iron 68 years ago. I wonder was that your grandmother.
Wow, that's a coincidence! Definitely not my grandmother, as "Iron" is not our Surname. But that is cool! Thanks for sharing 🖤
My daughter and her husband met you in Palm Springs a few weeks ago. They said you both were very nice. They actually took a picture of you. They have a Story Teller Van. They have been following you for a couple of years. You inspired them to retire and do the Van Life.
Yay 2 ply!
I always dump after a days drive rather than before and over 20 years of RVing have not had a problem using septic safe TP.
RV's should have bidets, or better yet incinerator toilets,
can you do a solar explenationy
One ply for #1 and two ply for #2......four ply for sister in laws cooking! LoL!!!!
🤣
Use the best Paper! Doggie Bag (XL) is the perfect container to place all dirty paper products. Bag it and tag it - then toss in outside trash. Or 2 gal zip lock for overnight storage - until trash can is convenient.
You guys should replace your toilet seat with a bidet. You’d use a bit more water but a lot less toilet paper.
I have always been nervous to use anything but rv toilet paper, even though it is so expensive, but now I am convinced I can use the Kirkland or at least the Scott 1000 safely 😂. Thanks for your testing!!
I've always used Charmin when RVing. Never had a problem in the black tank with clogs.
We’ve used the Charmin extra soft two ply since James of TheFitRV did his scientific test. I can tell you with normal driving, the agitation in conjunction with the chemical will totally break it down. Your test pretty much confirms this!
Great experiment! We have always worries about the “pyramid of death in the bottom of the tank. We have a sprayer inside our tank they we turn on (with a hose attached on the outside) and we do get tp clumps when we do that weekly clean out. Crazy stuff we have to worry about in RV living. We are heading out again in a few weeks - I’m getting soooo excited to be out again! Thanks for sharing this - I am so in on a better TP!
Bunches of love

Because I never camp for more than 5 days at a time and have an internal sprinkler to help flush my black tank I've found that almost any toilet paper is fine. It all gets flushed out at least once every two days on site. If I was regularly dry camping I guess I'd have to be more careful with toilet paper choice but usually I have a full water/septic hookup or am on a site that has access to on site washroom facilities within a few minute walk.
We use regular "septic safe" 2 ply tp & use Unique Digest It in our black tank (can also be used in gray tank). We have never had a problem. We also never fully dump before we drive,
Thanks for the great info. we are going to try this as well
Thank you. We appreciate the info. We can't wait to apply it to our own setup.
Quite the scientific process and evaluation. Something to keep in mind when I get my travel trailer.
I tested Purex in the pink wrap. It broke down quicker then the RV toilet paper. Oh, and its soft.
Another thing I do is once every couple of months to both my black and grey tank.. I dissolve Cascade in boiling water(not the pods but the powder). My black is 20 gal and I use 1/3 a cup. I fill the tanks 3/4 full and drive to the next campground. Cascade is rv plumbing safe and it cleans the tanks
Safe travels
I noticed another comment about throwing in trash, that's what we do. Started years ago with composting toilet and now we do it with our standard toilet in another TT.
Yay for Cosco. I still would put most of my TP in a trash bag. The first wipe might be good to flush.
Something I found while driving down across the southwest, the folks would never flush their TP, they would put beside toilet for later use. That later use I found out was in their culture, it was collected to start fires for cooking or warmth. Also told that they didn't put in septic system so as not to clog it up.
Similar to results I have observed. We have just used "regular" TP for years in our RVs. But do you really not use the tank treatment fluid in RV parks? Hope you aren't just leaving the black tank valve open. That will cause you problems with buildup in the bottom of the tank.
Since inflation, Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue cost the same, but what they don't tell us is they lowered it from 425 sheets per roll to 380. 45 less sheets for the same price.
Haha- love it! We use Kirkland in our camper too. No problems. Back to the Vikes and Packs - I needed a break on that one. 😂
Luv it! Switching to Kirkland. Entertaining video! Have fun with your adventures!
Safe to use , yeaaaa!!!! Well this was a great example of toilet papers . So double the pleasure is worth the price. Lol !!! Thank you for sharing this with me!!! As always BS & BK
Oh yea a great big fantastic Happy New Year to the both of you . Keep up the good work .
I've never given TP 🚽a thumbs LOL. Hummm maybe repeat the test using various road surfaces, i.e. washboard, grooved cement, asphalt or city potholes. Love the new digs. Happy New Year!!!🥳
Happy New Year 🥳🎈🎆🎊!!!
Oooh, can you try the unbleached brown seventh generation tissue next please? It seems to start to break apart in water. I think it’s because of the lack of chemicals used in processing and not being bleach. It’s soft and is two ply.
Great video, but is the shake test really accurate? You guys are full timers. Does your rv REALLY shake like that? I hope not! You're parked for a few (or more) days between travel days. Therefore, the tp sits there fermenting for days. I bring this up after seeing my daughter do the shake test for her septic tank paper. Of course she got upset that I would suggest that her septic tank doesnt shake...kids! Anyways, yes your rv does shake a little on travel days, but not when you are camped. The solution would be to use good chemicals and lots of water!
Really funny video, in France we have only one costco and from my place i need about 4 hours drive to reach it so i'll never be able to go shopping in this store. Cant wait for your next video. Happy new year beautiful couple 😊
Thanks Pivoine, happy new year to you too! 😊 We were lucky to have one 10 minutes from our last home and ofcourse we see them all over now that we travel around.
A
Can you use paper towel please and kleenex tissues
I always said in the army that topics always migrate to poo. Thank you this comparison! You will save us hours of incomplete work…..or at least , double the toilet paper consumption, due to the various product marketing efforts.
We leave this Thursday or Friday on our first trip. Since we have been busy with holiday stuff and work trips, we haven’t got to the toilet paper procurement phase yet. But….I am more educated now than before!
Safe travels! And...Happy New Year to you both!
I was up in Minneapolis the other day. It did not disappoint hehehe. I think it was like 5 degrees and the whole tarmac was icy. The tower asked me about braking action when I landed. I responded there was no way I was going to touch my brakes on the runway. Fortunately, I can brake with the props.
Yes, tp is one of the last things we thought about as well! We saw a few test videos in 2018 and determined scott 1000 was the best non rv TP. We just happened to be talking with the RV geeks when we got the new rig and asked them what they use. We were excited to hear Costco! Yes cold in Minnesota we heard way below zero windchill temps there! Have fun on your trip!
I once asked a tissue manufacturer what was the difference between RV toilet paper and regular toilet paper. "the price and the packaging" was the reply....
We’ve had our trailer 16 years and have always used Costco TP without a problem. Many rver’s have done this tp test and everyone ends up using Costco brand.
2022… enjoying the simple pleasures! ☺️
That's right. It doesn't take much to make us smile!
Keep up the fire 🔥. Looking forward to sharing our 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ with you two.
We really enjoy your videos. We look forward to your videos every week. We are On our way to Quartzsite. We travel in a B van and we hate Scotts also. Can't even blow your nose with it.
Hi Peggy. Enjoy your trip to Quartzsite. We will be there during the tent show as well and may be hosting a meet up there! You can follow along on our instagram (@ireneironfitness) for updates on that. Scotts is just horrendous!!! :). Safe travels
The black tank treatment acts as a water softener and adds a scent/odor killer. Borox soap and dawn soap works better and considerably less expensive.
If someone has a blow out, that will definitely breakup the toilet paper. 😂😂😂
TP type is probably more important if you have a macerator pump rather than gravity fed dump.
That's true! We had a macerator in the van and were very careful with it!
I’m right there with you guys on Costco - I often say if Costco doesn’t sell it I don’t need it. I am curious as to what you think is different with the Kirkland TP compared to typical house options. Is it thinner than those? Does it say septic safe on the package?
We love Costco! We just couldn't give up bulk shopping even when we were in the van. It does say septic safe on it! The Kirklands seems to be a good medium weight....not quite as thick as the super thick brands. We used to use Cottonelle a lot before moving into a RV. But really like this Costco brand!
@@IreneIronTravels the RV Geeks article you linked to basically makes the argument that any household TP is safe for RV use and the whole RV TP market is created out of fear to boost profit margins. Interesting theory but expensive (and gross) to be wrong!
We thought the same about damage and thats why we used the Scott 1000 single ply.... but John and Peter have been fulltime Rving for almost 20 years and have always used regular tp. It was enough to convince us to try it!
Hey guys now that you have been in your new RV for a couple of months, would you buy again or go with an Airstream or something else?
Hey there 👋. We can definitely say no rig is prefect, but this one did check a lot of boxes for what we are looking for and it's a really good fit for our lives. We are happy with most of it. We do really like Airstreams, but don't think one is right for us at this time. We also didn't get to do much RV shopping because of shortages, but look forward to being able seeing some others in person this year.
👍👍❤️
I think you wife has a twin. The recent incident on a Delta Flight headed to Atlanta by a woman named Patricia Cornwall has been broadly broadcast over the in internet. She looks just like your wife.
Oh wow that's hilarious 😂. Had to google it. Delta Karen! We better not try to fly delta anytime soon 😆😂
I’m surprised, it took so long, for this discovery. But better late than never
Yeah, we were very careful with our macerator pump in the van.....we just got used to the Scott 1000 and kept using it! The new rig got us thinking about a change.
I want an incinerator toilet!
That sounds fascinating, we will have to research up on those!
@@IreneIronTravels well the knock on them is that they consume too much electricity. There’s gotta be a way though.
Scott 1000 sucks, but Scott ComfortPlus (also septic safe) is way more awesome. It's in a package with orange on it. I used to find it at Walmart, but lately I've had to go to other stores for it.
We haven't seen that one, will have to keep our eyes out for research purposes 👀 Thanks for the heads up!!
Hahaha. Toilet paper. Life is real peeps. 🤣
I'm jealous that you can upgrade to 2 ply. I have a septic tank and don't have an option like this. I'm still stuck on one ply.
🤣Its the little things in life sometimes! This Costco Kirklands does say septic safe on it...... We had a septic tank in our house as well and I think we used cottonelle.....with the ripples!
@@IreneIronTravels In my country septic tank safe toilet paper is not a thing.
Ahhh yes. We have noticed in some other countries they don't even flush tp.
Lol - did Aaron say bottom Line? As from UK not familiar with this product.
🤣 yup, the bottom line!🤣 Costco is a wholesale club or discount store that sells large quantities for less money. Like this giant roll of TP we bought! It's known for high quality products, organic foods, etc, at a low price. Maybe something like a MX wholesale, Makro, or Bookers.... maybe???
We have a Makro - but for wholesalers - not sold to the general public. Seems similar to yours.
we aren't going brain damaged over this....she says... I think it more apropos to say, don't get anal-retentive and that really says it all.
Are you pregnant??
I’m suspicious that you guys are running out of subject matter !
👍👍👍
😀🙊🧻
After more than 40 years of RV camping, toilet paper thickness has never been an issue for us; we use whatever toilet paper we want. The solution is simple; we never put toilet paper into our toilet.
You have to handle the TP anyway, so after wiping instead of dropping it into the toilet we keep a bag inside a small pail near the toilet - or you can use a Diaper Genie - and dispose of the bag immediately if used for #2 or let it sit for a bit if used for #1. You can top off with a bit of sanitizer every once in a while if you need to as well as use a pail with a lid.
