  1. Well I guess that is better than sliding down stair bannisters with your pants taken off … :^)

    Been some times when out in the rurals and I forgot to bring toilet paper, a couple of smooth rocks had to suffice. So I ain’t judging no one ….

  2. If you can’t afford TP, you definitely won’t like the charge to have a plumber come out and cable your sewer lateral when all those paper towels get hung up in that sumbitch. TP breaks down in water, paper towels and Kleenex don’t. Also beware of that lousy recycled toilet paper that contains bamboo fibers. That shit doesn’t break down properly in water either, and will completely sludge a sewer line causing a nasty backup that’s a real bitch to clear without hydro jetting the whole thing. As a plumber, I speak from first hand experience.

    • When buying TP for a Motor Coach, you have to buy brands that *easily* disintegrate in liquid, otherwise you have a mess on your hands when you go to dump the black water tank. For that matter, you have to consider what you are putting down the kitchen and/or the washbasin and shower drains as any grease and other “exotic” cleaners can likewise clump and cling in you grey water tank as well.
      Ah, the life of a camper… even when you are “glamping”.

  3. From a plumbing standpoint, this is a bad approach. Worse if you are on a septic system.

    Years ago, had neighbors that hadn’t figured it out. Everything went in the sink or toilet, trash food waste, grease, paper towels, pads/tampons,, you name it.

    Constant issues with plumbing, clogs, sewage backing up into shower/bathtub, septic tank overflowing into the lawn, and under the house. What a mess. Plumbers out multiple times a week. Landlord finally got fed up, and sent them on their way. Couldn’t seem to get it that you couldn’t just put anything down the drain.
