Bog roll

[Richtee180]

I know the popular thing is use the caravan dunny for no 1s but if no 2s happen to make a surprise appearance is there a bog roll of choice.

I did search the subject but didn't see a conclusive answer, the Thetford Aqua soft seems an arm and a leg for the ring piece, has anyone auditioned Tanki?

Tanks very much....

When my mrs goes for a Jimmy Riddle she puts the used bog roll in a small sandwich bag, then bins it, i told her to do that because shes not the one who empties the Thetford.

We use the cheapest supermarket toilet roll - it disintegrates quickly, just what's needed.

We always used the caravan toilet exactly as we used the house toilets. And the same toilet roll. Never been a problem over 39 years of caravanning.

Same as Jcloughie, except perhaps for the 3 Ply Quilted De-Luxe that we do not use in the caravan.

Wet wipes are different story though and are problematic in the cassette.

Always used a cheap supermarket toilet roll and never had any issues emptying the Thetford.
Wet wipes are a NoNo in Thetfords or site/ domestic toilets. They don’t dissolve and cause blockages in the systems and create problems at sewage works.

And another vote for “same as at home”. We use the caravan bathroom exactly as at home rather than using site facilities. I’ve never had any problems in the last 25 years of caravan holidays. If you use a decent toilet fluid the emptying process is straightforward and not exactly unpleasant!

Wipes…… the biggest cause of 21st century blocked drains. They don’t break down and stick to the inside of drain pipes like hardened papier-mâché!

Always brought the Nicky elite 3 ply toilet roll never had a problem emptying the Thetford

Just seen they sell it on ebay, glad to see it's all new and not used 😀

Fully agree.
The Thetford Aquachem never dissolved domestic paper, Elsan blue dissolves everything. Even their Green is good.
Like others the Thetford paper was too thin , poor “poke through performance” and too expensive.
Another voting for domestic paper but using the right chemical.

We've always used our toilet both ways. A simple tip is not to let the cassette get too full. I have got into the habit of emptying every day in normal use, sometimes less. I don't wait for the warning light to come on. I also give the cassette a gentle swirl to help break up the loo paper and I find this assists emptying. This is more difficult with a full cassette.

poor “poke through performance”

A great new addition to my toilet vocabulary

 

[Gozza2]

Me too for "same as at home" - never yet had an issue. Which I know is tempting fate!

 

[Raywood]

We have always found any supermarket soft paper works well. No problems so far.

 

[izzy]

We use any cheap supermarket paper and the Elsan sachets. Never had a problem.

We have job share with the Elsan she fills it up and I empty it

Believe it or not it is a technical term used in the manufacture of paper orientated materials.

Well !!.roll on !😊

If the paper has poor, "poke through performance " you also need a 8 Oz hammer handy. 🥴

Or a matchstick. 😡

Usually the cheapest and thinnest but NOT Izal

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Izal = a good stand in for grease-proof paper 🥴

Same here; Two ply instead of three ply from Lidl.

 

[Woodentop]

We've used the Waitrose Essential range for years, home and away, and never had any trouble.
