I have been using the Thetford toilet paper in my cassette toilet, am I wasting my money, does standard toilet paper really cause problems in these toilets, is there a brand available in supermarkets that will also do the job ?
Ian, most toilet paper "disintegrates" when wet, and the additives in toilet hasten the process - Don't use tissues or baby wipes though as they can block the septic systems. There is no need to use any Thetford paper or even chemicals, "No Brand" Napisan will suffice - Thetford and other specialist toilet additives are an expensive way go.

Thanks Peter and Possum, yes I thought that was the case, so I don't need to shake different samples in a jar of water to see if they break down fast enough (youtube) Yes I do use percarbonate Thanks Ian
All toilet paper is bio degradable which means it breaks down in water, just use whatever you use at home. We normally use 3 ply Quilton, have found if I use 2 ply we simply end up using more of it.
i am going to try using Napisan in toilet rather than expensive fluids you buy at BCF etc. I have just read some
articles here in Greynomads that seemed to indicate Napisan was quite ok.
Nappysan works well; I mix about 1/3 cup of Nappysan to 1L of water and add that to an empty tank, I then add about 1 teaspoon of Nappysan each time the toilet is used.
Don't buy the brand Nappysan but rather look for the cheapest "stain remover" in the laundry section with 30% or more sodium percarbonate - that's all Nappysan is. Safeway sell a product called "Clean Boost" in a 1kg purple container for $3.50 which is 33% SP.
In regard to loo paper, I use Quilton but put it into a plastic bag and burn that every few days - when my son visits he insists on his own plastic bag... fair enough I 'spose :)
