I'd say do a test at home, mix it around a bit and see how well it disintegrates. At least, that is what I'm going to try. We have Cushelle at home mostly and I find it breaks up quite well in the home toilet and is also soft. So my theory is, it might work OK in the caravan too, but who knows?

Caravanning with cassette toilets over 24 years and have never used special paper, or had a problem with a blockage.
We used to search out thinner stuff, but sometimes it can just be too thin. Now we use whatever we have "in stock" at home, usually something from Lidl or Aldi. We rarely use the more expensive very thick stuff even at home.
Andy, what about chemicals? Are you going to be trying the cheap and easy method of Lidl/Aldi bio washing liquid pods in the cassette and plain water in the flush?
If you are not keen on that, I would try the Thetford or Elsan sachets, less weight to carry, no mess, easy to use.

Posted on 07/04/2022 09:26 by AndyJFYeah that's what I was concerned about - whether the normal stuff would be difficult to break down and cause a blockage in the cassette. Which could get very unpleasantly messy!

I tried the Lidl bio pods after reading about them on the discsussion site and have found they work very well and an added bonus is that there is no chance of spillage with them or putting the wrong amount of toilet fluid in the cassette.
