    While I haven't watched the follow up on tank treatments, that is a big one! What happens (chemical action) in the black tank is very important.
    I spent my career in a pulp & paper mill. The machine runs on RV/Marine toilet paper are very short for a niche market. We would stop a toilet paper winder complex at the end of a production run, switch the wrapper section to an RV wrap, change the sheet count down on the winder for smaller rolls and start the machine back up... on the same paper! THE SAME PAPER WENT IN THE RV PACKAGE!

    Thanks for such an informative video. We currently use the Scott RV TP but will try the Great Value TP next trip to Walmart. As a side note, I dump about 1/4 cup of Simple Green down each sink and the shower drain and 1 cup into the toilet (after dumping and rinsing) before we break camp and have never had issues with the sensors. I started doing this primarily to break down any grease/oil residue in the grey tank but it also keeps the drains from giving off any odor. Just my .02 cents worth. Happy Camping!

    I RV Full time and empty both tanks at the same time. Black tank first then grey to clean out the hoses. The toilet paper I use is regular old tp from the dollar store. Its already the cheapest stuff for sale and it works really well in the RV. As far as the amount of breakdown...they all breakdown eventually. If you're like me and drain every week or so then you'll never have a problem. Every 6 months or so I stick the black tank spinning cleaner into the toilet and it cleans off the sensors. But I don't get bent out of shape if my sensors are out of whack. Its a simple clean up with the spinner and its done.

    I use Cottenelle along with a tank treatment & have never had any problems. I have a 50 gallon black tank with a Camco Tornado black tank washer and use a Valterra Sewer Solution system. It uses a small hose (1" dia?) and the force of the water used to flush the waste to the dump station works great. IMHO it works better than the large diameter hoses because once the tank valves have been closed the fresh water rinses the entire system. Since it's just me in the RV a 50 gallon tank would take a l-o-n-g time to fill up but I try to flush it when it's about 1/3 - 1/2 full to reduce unneeded weight.
    The RV Geeks did pretty much the same test as you did & when I discovered the Cottenelle breaks down easily I started using it.
    Good informative video - thanks.

    Good video, I run a similar test, using a few different brands. We also use the Scotts RV TP in our rig, but my results came out different instead of a shake a did a few swirls and a 1 hour test time. The Walmart no-name brand was #1 and the Scotts RV was # 2, no pun intended. The wife is staying with Scotts RV rapid dissolving. I just spend a little more time flushing out the black tank.

    Thank you for doing this experiment! We have been full-timing for a year and we have tried all of the RV specific toilet papers that we could find and we prefer the Scott RV for the thickness and softness and for the $2.97 price. But after watching this we’re going to try the Great Value one that you guys liked and see how it goes! Even though that Scott RV paper didn’t break down as well in your experiment, I will say that we have never had any problems with buildup or blockages. It can be difficult to find though because not all Walmart’s have an RV section, and not every place we camp has a Walmart closeby. There have been times we have had to drive 30-45 minutes just to get toilet paper 😂. I would be interested to see what other non-RV brand toilet paper that’s soft and thick also breaks down well, for those times when there’s a Dollar General it just a grocery store nearby. Some of the ones we’ve tried have been so thin that we had to use 3-4 times as much each ‘toilet visit’, so I always feel like we end up using more of that kind in order for it to be sufficient for each...use. I’m a new subscriber thanks to this video!

    The key is too always make sure there is plenty of liquid in your black water tank. It should be allowed to get close to full before dumping it and your should add some water to it after that.

    • @sheri4673
      @sheri4673 ปีที่แล้ว

      I realize your comment is several years old, but if you have a moment to reply, I'd appreciate knowing why you recommend letting the the tank fill up. I won't be using an actual black water tank, just the holding compartment on the portable toilet itself. I'm getting ready to take my very first trip in my campervan and have never used one of these toilets and know nothing about their proper care that isn't in the owner's manual- which offered no information about his. I'd be very grateful if you could share from your experience and educate me a bit. Thank you very much!

    I really thought this would be a bogus test - but it really was helpful and moved along well. I too was a Scott user and I am definitely switching! I have a large yacht and our toilets - all new - have been clogging more than I think they should - but because they were new I was blaming it on the toilets as just clogging more than the old ones. However - this coincided with us going to the Scott Fast Dissolving brand by a few months. We are a family that does not make any mistakes putting anything into our toilets that is not "marine toilet" safe - so I was not really thinking it was the toilet paper in this case. However it is evident that if the stuff does not break down really fast - and in marine toilets it needs to dissolve nearly instantly.
    Soooo, we save money and I don't work on toilet problems - big win! A BIG thank you!!

As shown here the WM Great Value Everyday septic safe truely out performed and will be our go to and less expensive TP from now on. Thanks for pointing us to this.

    I buy Scott, and in my RV systems, and we have two different campers that we use, often, but we also use RidEX with our campers to keep the smells down, and to break down the waste and it works very well too.
    I like Scotts, and for us, it is the best. We don't like Charmin, or Cottonelle, just our Scotts. I use RidEX at home too, we have a septic system at our home, no public sewer. So it works well for us.
    Everyone has an opinion, and even if it is different than mine/yours, doesn't make it wrong, just different.
    We use what we do because it works for us.
